We ran into this problem too. The Displaytag "escapeXml" attribute is
too aggressive in its escaping - well, not too aggressive, just wrong
for an HTML/XHTML output context. In my opinion it's a bug, plain and
simple. There should either be different attributes for different
sorts of escaping, or else some sort of configuration property that
would allow the behavior to be specified.
Unfortunately I know of no way to fix it short of writing your own
decorator and applying it, or else patching your version of
Displaytag. I find it odd that this isn't a problem sufficiently
pervasive to warrant a patch to the distribution. Surely it's not that
uncommon to have apostrophes in the sorts of columns whose contents
must be HTML-escaped.
