Cheers.
Im not actually using jsp in this case, but rather modifying the contents of
an org.w3c.dom.Document tree and Im using a rather niave homebrew serialiser
to render the xhtml to the response stream. (as the one in xerces turned out
to be more than a bit inflexible when it came to extending it to handle some
PIs I needed to interpret at render time (which do happen to
requestdispatcher includes)).
I'll guess go and rip apart bean-write and get my serialiser (or my
renderers) to do what it does and see how it goes.

Hi Andrew,
I thought, man, you don't know that? Hahaha - and then I realised I
don't know either.
I just checked my app to make sure it's not happening to me too, and
it's not. I have stuff like ""snowflake"" in the database and it gets
encoded automatically into
value="a html-busting "character""
via . Presumably is the same.
If you have you can add filter="true".
