The text stored is often something like: "Struts is a <b>brilliant</b> framework" The idea is that simple html formatting can be applied to the text when it is output in a JSP. The text above gets stored in the DB without any problems, selects on the database show the information in there is exactly as was typed in, also, simple System.out.println on a ResultSet of that data show it as above. However, in my JSP I output the text from a bean property using <bean:write /> and in the html source I see that my < and > have become < > I actually want the markup to work as markup and not be escaped like this. Is it bean:write thats doing this, if so, is there a way to turn it off?
