Re: is i18n messages suppose to be html escaped?

2011-10-20 Thread Mike Kienenberger
I don't know about the escaping, but #(msg.foo} is a shortcut for
outputText is only true functionally, and then only in the generic
sense that both will put text on the page.  Ie, #{msg.foo} will
evaluate to a literal piece of text, but it is not the same thing as
using an outputText component.

It would be the same kind of thing as saying that
System.error.println(foo) is a shortcut to log.debug(foo)

 The outputText tag, according to the jsf javadocs, says it is true by
 default.

 So, if that's true, shouldn't  be escaped to quot; by default? or are 
 special for some reason?

 Shouldn't it at least consistently escape or not escape?

 Ted,

 The strings will only be escaped if the component you're using escapes the
 text. If you're just embedding the expression in the page, it's not going
 to
 be escaped, but you can use h:outputText -- this allows you to control
 whether or not you want the text escaped.
