How to stop Richfaces replace <> with &lt; and &gt;

[Dheeman Basu]

I want to show a hyperlinks in Richface datatable.
Say for simplicity all my links are: <a href="http://www.javaranch.com"> Click Here </a>

Now let's say table is defined like following:

<rich:dataTable
var="rec" value="#{beanList.records}"
rowClasses="jsf-table-odd, jsf-table-even">

<f:facet name="header">
<rich:columnGroup id="dataHeaderColGrp">
<rich:column> <h:outputText value="Links"/></rich:column>
</rich:columnGroup>
</f:facet>

<rich:column title="Links">
<h:outputText value="#{rec.text}" /></rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>


What should be the content of rec.text? In other words what must bean's getText() method return?

Have you looked at output link component(h: outputLink) ??

[Rohit Boorugu]

hey why don't you do this

    
<rich:column title="Links"> 
         <h:outputLink value="http://www.javaranch.com">
             <h:outputText value="Click Here."/>
         </h:outputLink>
</rich:dataTable> 

you can also use target="_blank" to open in a new window.
instead of this
<rich:column title="Links">
<hutputText value="#{rec.text}" /></rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

Hope this Helps
