Category: main tag library Group: v 1.0-b3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tag lib does not take care of reserved chars Initial Comment: It seems that the tag lib does not take care of reserved chars like < or > or ' which are not allowed in valid html. If the bean used to build the table content contains such chars, the resulting html is not valid. For example: The Bean contains the value "hello <td></td> how are you". the resulting html should look like this: hello <td></td> how are you But it looks like this: hello <td></td> how are you The resulting Table looks not very good. I think the tag lib is responsible to convert the values before rendering it to html because that is the normal behaviour of a tag lib (struts, jstl, ...). If the developer is resonsible to do the conversion he has a lot of work because he has to develop the beans twice. One that contains the values used in the internal logic and one for the representation containing the converted values. When he builds the list he has to manually convert all the attributes. An other way is to develop ReportTableDecorators containing getter methods for each attribute to do the conversion. Because i was not able find any flag to configure this behaviour i think that this is an bug. It should be possible to turn on and of the conversion for each collumns like shown in the following line: <display:column property="PMAuftragsID" title="OrderID" convert="true"/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=536613&aid=969470&group_id=73068 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
