Hi Chris,
thanks for your help but I have still a doubt:
if I convert the input variable description I have to re-convert it again
when I want the real value.
For example, if description = abc "abc", I have to convert it to abc
"abc" to show it correctly on the web page and then,
I have to re-convert it again when I want the real value.
If the user insert description = abc" as real input value, the first
function will make any change (because the character " is not in the
variable) and then, the second function will convert the value to abc",
making a mistake.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for your answer.
Francesco

You need to run it through some sort of filter that should change the <"&>
characters to < " & > respectively. Try put a method
something like this somewhere on your class path.
public class Convert {
/**
* Convert sensitive characters in a string to their XML equivalents
*
* @param str String to be Processed
* @return XML ready String
*/
public static String toXML (String str) {
char[] in = str.toCharArray();
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer(in.length);
for(int i = 0;i < in.length;i++) {
switch(in[i]) {
case '<':
out.append("<");
break;
case '>':
out.append(">");
break;
case '\"':
out.append(""");
break;
case '&':
out.append("&");
break;
default:
out.append(in[i]);
break;
}
}
return out.toString();
} //toXML
}
then change your tag to look like
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="<%=Convert.toXML(description)%>">
