[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1396?page=comments#action_12459986 ] Paul Pogonyshev commented on MYFACES-1396: ------------------------------------------
And let me clarify why I think browser should have absolutely no saying in the a resulting encoding. Nowadays all browser should be able to handle any encoding just fine, as long as it is state in HTML page header. If a browser fails to handle a particular encoding, you should upgrade it, else throw it away. _Nothing_ I know of can reencode pages on the fly, so MyFaces seems to invent a wheel that is absolutely unneeded. In fact you seem to encourage browser behaviour which will not work with other server-side solutions, especially if a server just contains a number of static HTMLs. I can also confirm that it works perfectly without reencoding in JSP parts of the site. > Too much escaping > ----------------- > > Key: MYFACES-1396 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1396 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: General > Reporter: Tomas Fischer > Assigned To: Martin Marinschek > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: test.jsf > > > HTMLOutputText (which delegates to HTMLEncoder) escapes not only XML-invalid > charactres (like <, >, &), but also german umlauts. This is OK if generating > (X)HTML, but not OK if generating XML. However, according to the official > documentation to the outputText Tag the german umlauts should not be quoted: > If the "escape" attribute is not present, or it is present and its value is > "true" all angle brackets should be converted to the ampersand xx semicolon > syntax when rendering the value of the "value" attribute as the value of the > component. > There is an automatic XML detection, but this is broken, as only predefined > MIME-types are recognized (application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, text/xml). > This bug prevents using JSF for generating other content (e.g. SVG, MIME-type > image/svg+xml). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
