Hi, if you want "literally" the four character & n b s p ; in the

<h:outputText value=”&nbsp;” escape=”false”/>
Or write a tag (easy in facelets) so that you can do <n:bsp/>
or similar.
the &...; entities are read by xml parser and never seen by facelets,
moreover the xml parser itself has no notion of the entity and
will fail to parse it
Not true, as is defined in the XHTML DTD. As long as the
doctype references this, the XML parser understands it.
The problem seems to be that the entity is being treated as
whitespace, and therefore eliminated from the XML tree, but numeric
entities are treated as text, and get built into the component tree
by facelets.
However, non breakable space is only a special character, that is also
reachable via it's unicode value, so you can simply write
 
instead of all the awfull outputText thingy. It will not issue a
in the output html but will issue a non visual character having same
behaviour.
The XHTML standard mandates that hex references must use lower
case, so you should really put   (or use non-hex i.e.  ),
but most browsers would understand upper case I guess.
