Hi, this is more a JSF question but perhaps you could help me out with that too ;) I want to write an email obfuscator and therefore need a custom JSF tag that outputs html entities. So I derived the tag class from UIComponentBase and write the output in encodeBegin. The problem is that my output gets escaped by JSF - e.g. instead of: anonymous wrote : & #x6c;& #x65;& #x2e;& #x63;& #111;& #109; I get: anonymous wrote : le.com In other words: if I would put my output into HtmlOutputText and set escape=false everything would be fine! So how can I prevent JSF from escaping the output of my tag? PS: the mathematical captcha is working but it & the email tag depend on the same obfucator so i wait till I get said email tag working to post it at jira.
