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 <html:text>. Presumably <html:textarea> is the same.
If you have <bean:write> you can add filter="true".

We have some screens that allow users to edit some stuff stored in the db, and some of this stuff includes such characters as " or \ or whatever, and also some of them have xml tags as there contents.
When rendering such fields we are hitting some problems. ie: if the value is something like: my cats name is "snowflake"
we end up with: <input name="fieldname" value="my cats name is ""snowflake""/>
...which of course is not very good.
Another one is textareas containing </textarea>!
Whats the technique for handling this nicely? Obviously I need to escape these somehow. What do I need to consider?
