AEM 6.4 Sightly Issue - Textfield not displaying special characters properly

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to render special characters like "doublequote" ("), "quote" ('), "less than" (<), "greater than" (>) in textfield/pathfield.

The problem now is these characters get HTML encoded in the view source page.

So, if an Input expression in textfield is

<%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D.%2M.%4Y") %>

It is displayed as

<%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D.%2M.%4Y") %>

Expected result: <%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D.%2M.%4Y") %>

I have tried using context='unsafe' but it is not working (worked for AEM 6.3). I tried calling this value using java but the input expression is fetched correctly in the method, the encoding is done later.

Is there a way to get the expected result?

Hi,

Are you using JSP or HTL? Context works only with HTL but your functions seems a JSP code. HTL will be considering this as text will be displaying as it is.

<h2>Display Current Date & Time</h2>

<p>${properties.text @context='unsafe'}</p>

<p>${properties.text}</p>
