Print a java variable with HTML code in a Facelet file

Is it possible to get HTML code that is inside a bean variable and print it in the Facelets file as HTML code and not as text?

Example:

myBean.java

public String getMyHtmlCode(){
    return "<span class="little">Internet</span> 100Mb <span class="little">+television</span>"
}

file.xhtml

 <h2>#{myBean.myHtmlCode}</h2>

But in the navigator appears 

<span class="little">Internet</span> 100Mb <span class="little">+television</span>

And is not interpreted as html.

Any idea?

Solution

  • In BalusC words from his comment:

    (You) should just disable the default escaping of the text

    <h2>
    <h:outputText value="#{myBean.myHtmlCode}" escape="false" />
</h2>

    Just note that this code is prone to XSS attacks.
