Disable HTML Encoding In Widgets

Hi,

I have a problem with OFBiz doing HTML encoding of characters that I don't want encoded. Specifically, OFBiz is replacing "<" and ">" with:

&lt;

&gt;

(encoded strings) in a widget.

Can someone tell me how to fix this issue please? Details as follows.

I have the following snippet of code in a file called browser.ftl file:
----------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
${browserProfile.metaTag}
...
----------------------------------------
${browserProfile.metaTag} *should* return a string in this format:
<meta name="foo" content="foo2"/>

If I map the browser.ftl file in controller.xml via a widget as shown below:
<view-map name="browser" type="screen" page="component://ecommerce/widget/BrowserScreens.xml#browser"/>

then unfortunately, OFBiz will replace "<" and ">" with encoded strings.

However, if (as a test) I map the browser.ftl file *directly* as shown below:
<view-map name="browser" type="ftl" page="browser.ftl"/>

Then, OFBiz does *not* encode the string and I get the correct output.

Any suggestions how I can stop my widget encoding these characters?

Regards

Brett S

P.S. this is what BrowserScreens.xml looks like.

----------------------------------------
<screen name="CommonDecorator">
<section>
<widgets>
<platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/browser/includes/header.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>

<decorator-section-include name="body"/>

<platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/browser/includes/footer.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>

<screen name="browser">
<section>
<widgets>
<decorator-screen name="CommonDecorator">
<decorator-section name="body">
<platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/browser.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>

Hi Brett,

You need to wrap the variable in the following method:
${StringUtil.wrapString(browserProfile.metaTag)}
