An Extensions Filter Bug

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:30:01 -0800 

HI you all

 

After a great amount of time trying to find why web page in the source code 
gets altered I concluded that the Extensions Filter is doing something that 
should not be doing or perhaps I don't know how to fix.

 

Here is the situation.

First code sample

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f"%>

<f:view>

  <html>

    <head>

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

            content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>

      <meta name="Eddy Johana Angarita Navarro" content="TRÉBOL Software 
S.A."></meta>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

        

        

        //Valida la longitud de un texto.

function validaLongitud(texto, longitud, e) {

if (!e) e = window.event;

 

if (!isEdicionKey(e) && texto.value.length >= longitud) {

alert("No puede digitar más de " + longitud + " caracteres.");

return false;

}

 

return true;

}

// Valida si la tecla presionada es de edición.

// Utilizar unicamente en evento "onkeydown".

function isEdicionKey(e) {

if (!e) e = window.event;

var key = e.which ? e.which : e.keyCode;

 

return (key==8 || key==9 || (key >= 33 && key <= 40) || key==45 || key==46);

}

 

        function doOnKeyDown(e) {

          var obj = document.getElementById("frmSistemas:nombreSistema");

          validaLongitud(obj.value, 10, e);

        }

        </script>              

      <title>This is a full text sample</title>

    </head>

    <body onload="alert('más o áéíóúñÑ');">This is it verbatim and m&aacute;s to

                                           this<h:form>

        <h:inputText maxlength="10" onkeypress="return validaLongitud(this, 10, 
event);"/>        

      </h:form></body>

  </html>

</f:view>

 

See the text in bold above.

I am using MyFaces tomahawk and have configured the ExtensionsFilter as stated 
in the page http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/extensionsFilter.html

 

I have put this page in a tomcat server and captured the generated java code 
and the characters are preserved but when I look at the source code in the 
Internet Browser, it gets altered to HTML characters, that is á is changed to 
&aacute; or &#255;.

 

See in page

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

            content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>

 

To enforce page is interpreted correctly by browser

 

I think this is a bug because the whole page should not be encoded, only what 
needed by the filter.

Is there a way to fix this or it is indeed a bug in the library.
