how to display a text with tags in jsp

Question

I want to display a text called

"welcome<to>Jsp"

In page source also i'm seeing as "welcomeJsp"

But in HTML its displaying as "welcomeJsp" alone. Please guide me.

Answer 1

You have to escape these characters..

welcome<to>Jsp

I would advice using Apache's StringEscapeUtils class(available in org.apache.commons.lang ) function escapeHtml() for escaping HTML.

StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml("welcome<to>Jsp")
