Rss encoding - escape caracters

[mechtatel]

Hi,

I have problem with escape caracters displaing the rss entries. The special caracters for spanich(latin-mexico) like á,é,í,ó,ú, etc.. are not aplied.

I'm using seam 2.2.2 on JBoss 6.0. I want to make use of Rss capabilities built in seam.
My first step was to add the depency libraries for rss:

I copied the next libraries from seam 2.2.2 to my ear/EarContent/lib

commons-codec.jar
commons-lang.jar
httpclient.jar
jboss-seam-rss.jar
yarfraw.jar

I copied the jaxb-api.jar from seam 2.2.2 lib to my war lib because if I put it in the ear lib received:

com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.JAXBContextImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext

I already have this rss dependency library in my ear/EarContent/lib
commons-io.jar
commons-lang.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar

So I don't jaxb-api.jar is related to my problem?

The data base is MySql 5.1, the table chart set is UTF-8 and the collation is Utf-8 general ci.

How can I resolve this problem?

If your problem is showing those Spanish characters, then you should escape them.

You can do this for example with:

String escapedStr = org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(yourString);

Hi Serkan,

I was thinking that this escaping functionality was included out of the box like when I use h:outputText with EL?

Thank you, your suggestion work well.
