Custom JSF Component & escaping html

[spambob]

Hi,

this is more a JSF question but perhaps you could help me out with that too ;)

I want to write an email obfuscator and therefore need a custom JSF tag that outputs html entities. So I derived the tag class from UIComponentBase and write the output in encodeBegin.
The problem is that my output gets escaped by JSF - e.g. instead of:

& #x6c;& #x65;& #x2e;& #x63;& #111;& #109;

I get:

le.com

In other words: if I would put my output into HtmlOutputText and set escape=false everything would be fine!

So how can I prevent JSF from escaping the output of my tag?

PS: the mathematical captcha is working but it & the email tag depend on the same obfucator so i wait till I get said email tag working to post it at jira.

Sorry, I screwed up!

I want:

& #x6c;& #x65;& #x2e;& #x63;& #111;& #109;

but I get:

le.com

use writer.write rather than writer.writeText

Thanks a lot for your help Pete, now it is working as intended!

Gimme a few days to get it finished then I will post my stuff in JIRA.
