Hello,
Thanks for your answer. You are right that's what happening. On submission input text sterling sign "£" escaped to the "ISO-8859-1" "£" and when try to display it again in the same html:text box it escape it again. So how can I avoid it what should I do. UTF8 work fine but it put some other constraint like database encoding.
Hmm, I'm not sure at which point the various escapes are happening. It's
possible the browser is sending the character as an entity reference
because it's not supported by the Latin-1 encoding, in which case you'd
have to handle the un--escaping during input processing. Using UTF-8
avoids these kind of issues, though, so I don't know why you wouldn't
just use that -- especially since you report success when doing so.
I attached the code: JSP, action class, form class, and Struts config.
Not all the attachments made it through to the list; it's generally
better to paste the relevant parts of your files rather than attach
them, both to avoid having attachments filtered by the list and for brevity.
I did not find any attribute "escape" in struts user guide can you give me some example. I am using struts 1.2.9.
Oops, sorry, S1's html:text doesn't have an 'escape' attribute :-/ I
suspect you'll either need to switch to UTF-8 (or any encoding that
supports all the characters you need to be able to deal with) or handle
these cases yourself in you input processing.

Thanks for your help.

Can you post a code sample of what you are doing? html:text will only
escape its output once, so perhaps you are passing it a string that has
already been converted into the character entity form (£)?
You could try escape="false", but I'd suggest understanding what's going
on first so you're confident that you aren't opening up
cross-site-scripting or other Javascript injection vulnerabilities by
doing so.

Hello,
I am trying to use "ISO-8859-1" char set in my web application. But when I try to display "?" sign using html:text field it displays "£". If I look at the HTML source there I see that "&" is escaped by the character entity "&" so now instead of "£" the value is "£" . Where as if I use simple input field to display this value it work fine.
I believe this is because html:text tag escaping "&" sign. How I can avoid
this multiple escaping.
I am using jbossAS 4.0.5, Struts 1.2.9.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
