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).
