JSF value passing to jstl is failing.

[Vinoy Paul]

hi ,

I am facing one issue while trying to avoid the XSS scripting issue. I have code like

<h:outputText id="text49"
value="#{History.abc}"
styleClass="outputText"
escape="false">
</h:outputText>

This code is throwing XSS scripting issue. So i am thinking the easy way to get rid of it just by using <c:out inside value attribute.
But its failing in compilation. Is there any other way i can escape from XSS scripting.

Please help me.

There's no script there. Why do you think it has a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) problem?

if there is no proper business value in that variable , i am passing &nbsp; to that variable.

If i didnt pass some UI distortion is happening ,like missing the border of the cell.
