Hi Torsten!

without having tested this, but have you ever tried to convert 'Ändern'
instead of 'Ändern'?

Best regards,
Bernhard

I've tested it and you are right: It remains unchanged. The filter method
only replaces the characters '&', '<', '>' and '"'.

Currently i use 'Aendern' because with UTF-8 encoding the browser cannot
display 'Ä'. But this could not be the final solution.

Maybe i will find the time to write a corrected filter method. What i don't
know is: Who is responsible for the ResponseUtils class? Is it Craig R.
McClanahan? Should i post the method code to this mailing list or send it
directly to him?

Best regards

Torsten

Craig wrote the original class. I don't know wether he's still the
maintainer but would expect so.

When you post a patch it is probably best to do so on the struts-dev list
and not on the struts-user list.



In case this wasn't clear anyway:
When you "write a corrected filter method" you should try doing so by
parsing stuff like "&something;" and not by enumerating all such
sequences you know about.



Best,
Michael

The way to get problems you encounter addressed is to post them to the bug
tracking system:

  http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/

so that all of the Struts committers can be made aware of the issue.  The
bug tracking system also has a mechanism for accepting attachments, so
patches are *very* welcome.
