The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Maxwell Grender-Jones Created: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 12:52 PM Body: I should like to implement this feature, as we need it for our purposes as well (i.e. I'd rather not have to set a table decorator everywhere).
http://www.mail-archive.com/displaytag-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01053.html This thread discussed adding a escapeXML attribute to the table/column tag. How would this be implemented in practice? Presumably escapeXML would have to be passed through to the decorators used to display the entries of the table? I presume it would be no use to try to escapeXML elsewhere, as it would have to be done in many places (Column, TableTag etc) and should presumably be the responsibility of the decorator anyway (which might want to process escaped / unescaped xml, and then output appropriate escaped / unescaped xml as per the attribute). Should we therefore add more decorator interfaces (to maintain backwards compatability) e.g. EscapingColumnDecorator (which could be told to escape HTML/XML or whatever, with an appropriate default)? An easier way to do this would be to throw away the whole attribute idea, and add table.decorator to the list of configurable properties, and provide an xmlescaping decorator, s.t. that if a user wants site-wide xml escaping by default, they can set it in their displaytag.properties file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-80?page=comments#action_26243 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-80 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DISPL-80 Summary: option to automatically escape xml Type: Improvement Status: Unassigned Priority: Minor Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: DisplayTag Components: Decorators Fix Fors: 1.1 Versions: 1.0 RC1 Assignee: Reporter: fabrizio giustina Created: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 1:11 PM Updated: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 12:52 PM Description: ==== imported from sf tracker id 929098 submitted by Adam Murray - admm http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=929098 ==== I'm displaying some strings that contain xml. These are not diplayed by the web browser because it tries to interpret the tag as html. To correct this I have to use a decorator. It would be nice if there were an option one could set for the table (or individual columns) to automatically escape any xml in the strings being displayed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
