commandLink/param: how to prevent escape value

[javatwo]

<a4j:commandLink  ...

      value="#{bean.commandName}" />

<h:commandButton  ...

      value="#{bean.commandName}" />

<f:param name="content" value="#{bean.content}"/>

when the values are UTF-8 chinese characters, they are escaped.

When I open source view from IE or Firefox browser, they are seen as like:

&#25687;&#31585;&#25516;&#28377;

however, there is no problem showing chinese chars on web pages.

But our customers like them to be chinese characters in source view.

Is there a way to prevent value(chinese characters in UTF-8) from being escaped?

Thanks for help.

Hi, Dave

Try this:

<a4j:commandLink>

       <h:outputText value="#{bean.commandName}"  escape="false"/>

</a4j:commandLink>
