spring:url tag should use htmlEscape instead of escapeXml for entity encoding [SPR-5605]

[spring-projects-issues]

Scott Andrews opened SPR-5605 and commented

The spring:url tag currently uses 'escapeXml' as a tag attribute to indicate the value should be XML entity encoded. Other spring and form tags use 'htmlEscape' instead. This property can be set locally or page wide. Also consider supporting 'javaScriptEscape'.

escapeXml has been replaced by htmlEscape which behaves similarly to other spring tags. Also implemented javaScriptEscape for URLs rendered directly to JS.

Also updated the Pet Clinic sample to reflect the attribute name change.
