JSON array and JSF

Question

I'm working with JSF and EXT js. I have a JSONArray created in the server-side and I want to pass it to client-side. I used to get the array and put it in javascript var. But this tag adds a html tag (span) which make an error in javascript var.

This is the code I wrote:

var data1 = <h:outputFormat value="#{actorBean.newactors}" />

And this is the code of my page after running:

var data1 =<span>[[&quot;aaaaaaa&quot;,&quot;bbbbbbb&quot;]]</span>

so do u have any idea how to get the array without all the tags added ? thanks

Answer 1

Use

<h:outputText value="#{actorBean.newactors}" escape="false">

The h:outputFormat is only interesting if you want to format your messages. The escape attribute of the h:outputText will disable escaping of HTML entities like " into ".
