[FIXED] How to remove backslash from exception message in SpringBoot?

Issue

I have this exception message:

 public CityDto getCityByName(String name) throws DataNotFoundException {
    CityEntity cityEntity = cityRepository.findByName(name);
    if (cityEntity == null){
        throw new DataNotFoundException("city with name " + '"' + name + '"' + " not found!");
    }else
        return CityMapper.INSTANCE.toCityDto(cityEntity);
}

and this how Postman show me this message:

{
"status": "NOT_FOUND",
"message": "Entity not found",
"errors": [
    "city with name \"Toronto\" not found!"
]

}

As u can see, city name Toronto for some reason have backslash. How to remove it?

Solution

do this throw new DataNotFoundException("city with name '" + name + "' not found!")
