itemLabelEscaped ignored for rich:select and rich:pickList -> how not to escape labels in pickList and select

[karomann]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to include unescaped markup and/or HTML entities in f:selectItems and rich:select in RF 4.3.7?

I tried using <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.valuesToFill}" itemLabelEscaped="false"/>

e.g. to display text

public List<String> getValuesToFill() {

        return Arrays.asList("should not be escaped: &copy;");

    }

but while this works for ordinary h:selectOneMenu rich:select and rich:pickList seem to ignore it. Is it a bug? Is there any workaround to it?

Escaping the values is not implemented, do you really need to present the values as HTML entities? You can just type them out - © instead of &copy;

That's true! I forgot one can put any UTF-8 character into Java String and return it from Managed Bean. Thank you very much!
