Description

There are various severe UI bugs with the Alfresco connector, CMIS connector, and OpenSearchServer connector. These include:

• injection of ${XXX} data into fields on the first (re)post of each edit form (Alfresco and CMIS only)
• no escaping of string values appropriate for the context of each substitution value, which means the forms will blow up when unusual values like "<" or ">" are included in (say) a password

I've fixed these problems on trunk as part of CONNECTORS-335. This ticket is meant to capture the problem for the 0.4 release.
