I developed a struts portlet on Websphere Portal 5.1.
It is very simple that only one text field in the form, and I want to use it to insert a record into database.
In JSP:
and column in database is varchar(20).
My trouble is that when the text contains HTML characters, e.g. '<>', the input will be encoded to '& LT; & GT;' automatically after submitting.
Therefore, an error - 'The length of Product Name is over than the allowed length' will occure.
I have tried that in a normal web application instead of Portal, and the characters would not be encoded. So, I tried to find out how to disable that in configure files of Portal. Unfortunately, nothing can be found.
Can anyone give me some advise? Thank you very much.
