Description of problem: Creating a new configuration file via WebUI causes that curly brackets used in macro delimiters are trimmed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-java-1.2.39-29.el5sat spacewalk-config-1.2.2-1.el5sat How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a configuration channel (Configuration -> Configuration Channels -> create new config channel) 2. Create configuration file (conf. channel -> Add files -> Create file) and set macro delimiters to '{|', '|}' or '{@', '@}'. 3. Submit the form. Actual results: Curly brackets are trimmed in macro delimiter fields. You can see only '|', '|' or '@', '@'. Expected results: Do not trim curly brackets! Additional info: Config file created with client tools (rhncfg-manager add --delim-start=...) is *not* affected by this behaviour and delimiters are saved correctly. So this issue is surely only matter of WebUI or some backend package.
Do not "scrub" cffMacroStart and cffMacroEnd spacewalk.git: 8b32a8722ea2f85c1456c84ec02aef19dc0e20ab I found out, there's one more issue - it was impossible to update macro delimiters on the rhn/configuration/file/FileDetails.do page. Available fix: spacewalk.git: 72e8dccd46d1336c633f298fc7bba28340735e9a
bug 654121 - maybe same issue? Srubbing of the Marco's incorrectly.

Failed QA. Curly brackets are still trimmed in the same way as described in comment #0. # rpm -q spacewalk-java spacewalk-java-1.2.39-33.el5sat
Verified. I used characters such as '{|', '{@', '{}|', '{{@' as macro delimiters and all were saved successfully without trimming. # rpm -q spacewalk-java spacewalk-java-1.2.39-34.el5sat

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, using WebUI to create a new configuration caused all curly brackets (that is, "{" and "}") to be removed. This error has been fixed, and curly brackets are now correctly accepted in macro delimiters.
