generation of non-ascii characters, xhtml - html

[putteb]

Hi,

Using this simple example:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
<f:view xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j">
        <rich:panel>
                <h:outputText value="h& # 2 4 6 ; j " />
                <h:outputText value="höj" />
        </rich:panel>
</f:view>

I wish to output the swedish character "ö" which should be the result of using "& # 2 4 6 ;" (i inserted spaces since it would render as "ö" otherwise). The problem is that in the response both "& # 2 4 6 ;" and "ö" results in "& o u m l ;" which is the html entity. This works perfectly in firefox and IE but not in Chrome or Safari where the error message is " Entity 'ouml' not defined". I'm not blaming Chrome or Safari here since my xhtml should not contain html entities. Is it possible to make my facelets return the "& # 2 4 6" style of the characters? And is this really a facelet issue? Some additional info is that i'm using org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver as el-resolver if that matters.

I'm starting to get a bit frustrated here so any help is highly appreciated!

My understanding is that both of the examples below are equivalent, because the ö is substituted by the XML parser that reads the facelet file before any facelet or JSF code even sees it.  I would suggest trying &#246; (although I have a nagging doubt that there is a problem with that).  You will also need to set the escape attribute on the outputText component to false.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the two examples are equivalent, I just provided two examples. And yes it works when i escape the characters so that would be a possible workaround. The page source then shows the "ö" character so it's equivalent to writing "ö" in my markup with escape="false". But is there no way i can generate the "& # 2 4 6 ;" style without changing all my markup?

Declaring this DOCTYPE solves the problem with Chrome:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"  http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >

Then Chrome handles the "& ouml;".
