From the dbms I get stuff like <font color="red"> abc</font>. When it reaches the ${someManagedBean.someValue} in my xhtml file the output is sanitized. That is great for 99,999% of all cases.
Question: Is there some way to disable this auto escaping?
Bonus Question: Can I only allow html and disallow javascript?

escape=falseNot sure about preventing JS only though. You might have to parse the HTML yourself to get rid of
<script>and contents.EDIT – Removed link (http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/html/h_outputText.html) because it was stale. Replaced with Oracle link.
