non-ASCII characters HTML-escpaed in faclets view

[kapitanpetko]

Hello,

Probably not a strictly Seam question, but here goes:

I am using faclets for the UI and I have non-ASCII characters
(Japanese) in my .xhtml files. All files are UTF-8. Pages display
correctly when viewed in browser, but almost all (lables, buttons,
output text) Japanese characters get HTML-escaped in the generated
HTML. The only strings that make it to the html unescaped are
rich:panelMenuGroup lables.

How to avoid this behaviour or any hints as to who is doing all the
escaping? (JSF, Seam, ...)

I am using Seam 2.0.1GA.

TIA

Have you tried <h:outputText value="#{whatever}" escape="false"/> ??

Cheers,

Damian.

Thanks for replying.

Yes, that does work. For static text. And opens the door to XSS for anything else, and I'd like to avoid that. Plus having to use <h:outputText escape="false"> for every static string is PITA...

I am looking for a more 'global' solution...
