Hi,

I'm getting a value to my JSP page (using JSF) with outputText from a
bean that has html encoding in it.

How could I temper with the HTML encoding so that I could preserve
certain tags? I need to have a few <BR> inside the text and want'em
displayed in HTML code, not &lt;BR&gt; etc...

What I'm doing is having a properties file for end users to modify. And
since there are some longer texts, they want to add paragraphs and line
breaks every now and then. So I've written a method that searches the
string for example \n and replaces'em with <br> just before this string
is sent to JSP. But now the encoding happens...

Or what would be the smartest way?

Regards,
Niko
