html tags in property file

[Rajeev Ravindran]

Hi,
Could someone tell me how to set HTML tags in the property file.
In my errors.properties i have this value

required.field=<b> Required ! <b>

I wanted to display "Required ! " in bold, but im getting the output as "<b> Required ! <b>".

Thanks,
Rajeev.

The property file is fine as written, but how are you outputing the string?
Several tags have the attribute escape to indicate whether or not there should be some escape filtering...

[Sergey Smirnov]

just use escape="false" for your h: outputText. I.e, for example:

<h: outputText escape="false" value="#{bundle['required.field']}"/>

Thanks for the replies, I think i should have been more specific !

here is my propery file entry

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED= <b> * </b>
javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED_detail= is a required field.

I'm making use of faces component to read from the property file.

what i have in my jsp is

<h:message styleClass="message" id="message3" style="color: red" for="dealDate" showSummary="true" showDetail="false"></h:message>

is there any "escape" property for h:message ?

Im pretty new to JSF. I'm not sure if i make any sense !

Thanks again,
Rajeev.
