Jesus! So much work for that purpose? :-) Have you tried to use UTF-8 for your JSPs? Then all that transforming to HTML encoding is not necessary anymore. It works great at my project, and I have to use more special characters than in German. (27 languages in fact)
See http://www.anassina.com/struts/i18n/i18n.html for a full how-to. Regards, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: mech [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 4.

Unfortunatally, i hate converting all my German language Umlaute into ä ü etc. in my database. If I say filter="true" my German special letters won't get filtered and I get stupid output if my Solaris server runs on English language instead like my development server in German language. If I say filter="true" an use ä etc. coming from my db fields, I get & filtered to & which doesn't help much either... In the html output I would get &uuml; instead of ü So I have to always filter="false" and use ä etc. for all German characters in my db. :-( At least than I can also use html tags for formating stored in the db. So on question for the future development. Could the tag filter be enhanced to filter not only brackets etc. but also language characters? Otherwise you'll have a problems if you use filter="true" and filter="false" aswell. Either you have to convert all your database field's not to use any language specific characters. Or you can't use filter="true" because your language specific html entities get converted twice because one character in the escape sequence (the & character) gets filtered again... What would be needed would be an filter="true" logic that doesn't filter the & of escape sequences or to filter also language specific html entities. The last thing would be the cleaner way.
