How to escape characters that can be interpreted as XML markup in JSP?
The fn:escapeXml() function escapes characters that can be interpreted as XML markup.
Syntax
The fn:escapeXml() function has the following syntax −
java.lang.String escapeXml(java.lang.String)
Example
Following is the example to explain the functionality of the fn:escapeXml() function −
<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c" %> <%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix = "fn" %> <html> <head> <title>Using JSTL Functions</title> </head> <body> <c:set var = "string1" value = "This is first String."/> <c:set var = "string2" value = "This <abc>is second String.</abc>"/> <p>With escapeXml() Function:</p> <p>string (1) : ${fn:escapeXml(string1)}</p> <p>string (2) : ${fn:escapeXml(string2)}</p> <p>Without escapeXml() Function:</p> <p>string (1) : ${string1}</p> <p>string (2) : ${string2}</p> </body> </html>
