Print a java variable with HTML code in a Facelet file

Question

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?

Would something like this help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11020438/backing-bean-property-that-should-return-a-string-with-html-code-returns-empty-s — Peter Jaloveczki, Jun 11 '13 at 14:40

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.

No, he should not escape the text. He should just disable the default escaping of the text. – BalusC Jun 11 '13 at 14:42
