If I have a field in database with something like :

This is a real problem...

I have this problem too, in a patch from a previous version I've add a 
conversion function:

    public String text2attribute(String t)
    {
        if( t == null )  return "";
        int i;
        StringBuffer v = new StringBuffer("");
        for( i=0; i<t.length(); i++ ){
            switch( t.charAt(i) ){
                case '"': v.append("&quot;"); break;
                case '&': v.append("&amp;"); break;
                default: v.append( t.charAt(i) );
            }
        }
        return v.toString();
    }
and modified DbBaseHandlerTag to convert all values that will be written 
in input tag, now I'm wondering how this can be done in new version too?

cheers,
