[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - s:formattedText fails with dynamic content being null

Hi, we were facing "random" ugly XML Parsing errors in our seam application, which is using <s:formattedText> with content from backing beans like the following example: | <s:formattedText value="some text referring to the users email, which is optional (*#{user.email}*), but the address should be printed bold." /> | We've noticed that the error occurs if the user didn't provide an email address, hence the content of the backing bean is null. We confirmed that <s:formattedText> fails if there is no content between two formatting characters as exemplified by the following: | <s:formattedText value="Hello, *this* is the text"/> | is working fine, but | <s:formattedText value="Hello, ** is the text"/> | will lead to anonymous wrote : | XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . | Location: http://localhost:8080/umgmt/richtext.html | Line Number 81, Column 13:Hello, | ------------^ | So, my questions would be: 1) Is this a known issue or limitation (we are using Seam 2.0.0)? 2) Has this been fixed in a more recent release? 3) How would someone deal with this situation? Any suggestions on how to handle dynamic content, that could be null as well?
