Hi, Suppose a field in the database has unicode values such as ش.
when i use html:text or textarea or for that matter any html components (using struts tag), i get the correct character. However if i use the <bean:write .../> tag in the output i get the following characters. &#1588; as a result of which instead of the expected character i get ش in the page. How is it possible to escape the "&" that is coming instead of " &". Do i have to use any response filters to filter out any of the "amp"'s . It works fine for a simple jsp without the <bean> tag using the old scriplet method.
