Question

I have an xml document that I used JAXB to ultimately have struts2 display in a webpage.

This document at a high level contains CDATA sections that are paragraphs that contain some HTML. The java object returned is a list of the paragraph objects whose text gets turned into strings.

When I display them in the JSP I get the paragraphs outputted to the screen and they contain HTML but it is not rendered.

I have found answers on here about removing HTML from java strings but nothing like this. I also don’t have control over the XML document I only consume it.

Answer 1

EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy) has the @XmlCDATA annotation for handling CDATA (I’m the tech lead). This may help if you can use MOXy as your JAXB implementation.
