Am using tomcat 4.1.24.
Have a XYZ.jsp with a form on it take data from the user. Once the user clicks submit the data is stored in the database and the data that the user entered is shown to him on ABC.jsp.
The problem is that the user can enter anything in the text field and text area of the form on XYZ.jsp. For example in the description text area he or she might enter - text, an http url, maybe html tags etc. Now when i grab this data from the form and store it to the databse it works fine, but when i grab the data from the database and render it on ABC.jsp it gets messed up because the html tags in the data interfere with the html of the page. Is there a way in tomcat escape such characters or are there java methods that i could use to pass this string through that would do the escaping for me ?
Thanks.
