XSS protection service warning in error log when tagging content

[andyshreve]

Why is it that adding tags to content causes warnings in the error log? When I go to page properties of a Geometrix page and add a tag to a page, the following warning appears in the error log. In this example I added the ootb orientation tag:

19.12.2013 16:27:18.022 *WARN* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1387488438020] GET /etc/tags/properties/orientation.tag.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.commons.JSONWriterUtil XSS protection service was not provided or not available while processing key [description]

When I add the tag, CQ makes the following json request which triggers the warning:

http://localhost:4502/etc/tags/properties/orientation.tag.json

Adding a description to the orientation tag does not stop the warning. My environment is a brand new 5.5 author instance on Windows. I have also noticed this warning in a production instance running 5.5 with service pack 3.

Corrupt tags can  cause such issues. Looks like author tried to moved the tags & missed up there.   Create a new tag & assign you should not get that message.

To find the cause & clean your existing tags please file daycare with packaging containing your tags + all the logs.
