Both apply filtering to protect you when you use literal values which have special meaning to HTML. For bean:write, set the "filter" attribute to "false" (defaults to true). http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write For c:out, set the escapeXml attribute to "false" (also defaults to true) http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/c/out.html This is not a problem specific to application resources; it would apply to any value displayed with these tags.
