Thank you for the pointer.
I think I can manage to download the
JXTemplateGenerator you mention...
 

Er, I think you're already using it. You refer to 
${editBean.note_with_href} which looks like a bit of JEXL from within a 
jx template.

I am not clear on the DOMFragment/DomNode bit however.
I can make the bean return a DomNode or DOMFragment
but am not sure what it is or should look like.
Any pointers on this would be helpful.
The text I would like to test out is this:
"Here is a link you can click on for more information:
<a
href="http://www.yahoo.com";>http://www.yahoo.com</a>"
What would this have to look like to be treated as a
DomNode?
 

DOM is the Document Object Model, and it is part of Java's way of 
handling XML. It is an object that represents XML as tree structures in 
memory.

See, if you aren't going to find this an easy approach, I think you 
might be going the wrong route. I remember discussions about including 
XML in strings in JXTemplate, but cannot remember whether there were any 
conclusions.

What you really want to do is to have some XML in a string treated as 
XML, not as a string. That is your question, to which I don't have an 
immediate answer, I'm afraid.

The other thing to be wary of here is that, if you give people the 
freedom to put what they want into a box like that, they can go breaking 
things quite badly if you don't validate the input that they are putting in.

Sorry I can't help more.

Wild guess here (never done it myself):
Could your editBean.note_with_href return a
DOMFragment or DomNode? I 
think the latest Cocoon in SVN might have code to
handle this properly 
in JXTemplate.

Hi,
i have a requirement that the user should be able
     

to
   

enter a href in a text area ex:
<a
     

href="http://www.yahoo.com";>http://www.yahoo.com</a>
   

Then in a different form, that is read only, this
     

href
   

should display as a link that can be clicked on.
I tried to do this using the following:
<snip>
<TD>${editBean.note_with_href}</TD>
</snip>
but what I get in the resulting table cell is the
same thing i.e. 

<a
     

href="http://www.yahoo.com";>http://www.yahoo.com</a>
   

i.e. the "<" and ">" have been escape to be &lt;
     

and
   

&gt;.  A bean.toString() method indicates that the
values in the bean are unescaped.  The values in
     

the
   

database also appear to be unescaped.
Who is doing the escaping and how can I prevent it
     

from happening so that I see a clikcable link?
   

My sitemap is pretty basic - as follows:
<map:match pattern="display-only-pipeline">
<map:generate type="jx"
     

src="display_template.xml"/>
   

     <map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
thanks!
Paul
