getting messages from the MessageSource unescaped

[Ammaletu]

I'm using Spring's MessageSource to output localized Strings in my JSF view. Generally, it's great that Spring does escape them (e.g. for < or > in Texts), but every now and then I would like to be able to output a text with HTML in it. For JSP pages, there is a tag with an escape attribute, but I don't think I can use this in a Facelets page, right? ... I just tried that to be sure and it didn't output anything (spring:message tag).

So, my question is, is there a way to configure how messages are retrieved from the MessageSource in a Facelets environment, either globally or on a case-by-case basis?

Not sure about configuring this globally. However, you can use JSF's outputText tag. It has an escape attribute you can set to false:

<h:outputText value="#{resourceBundle.myMessageKey}" escape="false"/>

Thanks a lot for your answer, InverseFalcon! That was exactly what I was looking for! I thought that I had tried that, but obviously I didn't... ;-)
