[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1396?page=comments#action_12431884 ] Tomas Fischer commented on MYFACES-1396: ----------------------------------------
You are right, that the UnicodeEncoder escapes all characters >= 0x80 as XML entities &#xxx; (however it doesn't encode <, > and & which is probably another bug), but this encoder is used only if in script or style (see HtmlResponseWriterImpl). Otherwise the HTMLEncoder is used. > Too much escaping > ----------------- > > Key: MYFACES-1396 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1396 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: General > Reporter: Tomas Fischer > Priority: Blocker > > HTMLOutputText (which delegates to HTMLEncoder) escapes not only XML-invalid > charactres (like <, >, &), but also german umlauts. This is OK if generating > (X)HTML, but not OK if generating XML. However, according to the official > documentation to the outputText Tag the german umlauts should not be quoted: > If the "escape" attribute is not present, or it is present and its value is > "true" all angle brackets should be converted to the ampersand xx semicolon > syntax when rendering the value of the "value" attribute as the value of the > component. > There is an automatic XML detection, but this is broken, as only predefined > MIME-types are recognized (application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, text/xml). > This bug prevents using JSF for generating other content (e.g. SVG, MIME-type > image/svg+xml). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
