String output

[wouter.oet]

I need to output a String, based on some requestparameters, for a small device that is unable to process webservices.  So I came up with this:

com.xhtml:

<h:outputText xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" value="#{communicator.responce}" /> 

Communicator.java:

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.web.RequestParameter;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;

@Name("communicator")
public class Communicator {
     
     @Logger Log log;
     @RequestParameter String xml;
     
     public String getResponce()
     {
          log.info("communicator.getResponce()", xml);
          // calculation
          return "resultBasedOnRequestParameter";
     }
}

However this results in

resultBasedOnRequestParameter</html>

How do I remove the </html>?

Umm, are you 100% sure that the tag doesn't come from the view?

[wouter.oet]

Yes. com.xhtml only contains the h:outputText tag.

Well, the renderkit produces html so you will probably have some...html in the beginning and end. Since the method clearly doesn't produce it.

Unfortunately there is not. There is no more code than what I posted.
The function just returns resultBasedOnRequestParameter. There is no implementation yet that could produce tags.

I have found the solution. The renderkit assumes that you're rendering html. Not a bad assumption. So the key is to inform it to render something else.

<f:view 
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" 
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" contentType="text/xml">
<h:outputText value="#{communicator.responce}" />
</f:view>
