A big middle finger to phpBB which interprets "disable HTML" as "well I really wanted you to interpret entities anyway". When using the 1.2 RI, inputText fields are not escaping the left angle bracket character to ampersand-ell-tee-semicolon. What befuddles me to no end is that it does fine for right angle brackets The value that isn't getting escaped is coming from an entity bean. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem with a hello world app or vanilla JSF. If I remain stumped, I suppose I'll switch to Myfaces 1.2. Or maybe catalyst (only half kidding) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972421#...
