java – How to do the<p:editor> do primefaces escape the special characters typed by the user before writing them?

Question:

I'm using primefaces component. My problem is that it is recording the accents that the user types in the text without doing the proper HTML escaping . Is there a way to change this so he knows that the letter is an accent and needs to perform the proper HTML escape ?

Below is the code:

<p:editor id="corpoEmail" widgetVar="editorWidget" value="#{corpoEmailControl.corpoEmail}" width="700"  maxlength="2000"  />

Answer:

When saving the field to the database, use Apache Commons Lang's StringEscapeUtils :

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils;

// ...

String corpoEmailEscapado = StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4(corpoEmail);
