It sounds like you might want an EL function or even a component to escape things the way you like. If you think this has general appeal, I strongly encourage you to put something together and make it available. You should be able to make it a one JAR add-on that someone can plop into a seam app and use. (I'd really like to see even more community supported libraries like this in the future) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4012270#...
