Hi,
I receive from the database HTML formatted Strings like that:

<b>Currently results</b>

Using the <bean:message> struts tag, I expect to display it on the
generated JSP page in bold. But, for some reason, the browser really
displays

<b>Currently results</b>

The source code is of course

&lt;b&gt;Current results&lt;/b&gt;

So, somewhere happens a conversion, but I do not know where; I saw,
that before calling the <bean:message> tag, the string is still with
the formatted tags, which is ok.

Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong? Do you have some example
that works?

Thank you very much for your help,
John

To convert those entities back to text, see

to stop Struts from quoting them in the first place, you would have to
ask someone else.

Have you looked in the database to see what is stored there? So you are 
certain that the field contains <'s and >'s?

Show us the methods you use to retrieve this field from the database, 
and the methods you use to send it to the client. An SSCCE would be ideal.

try setting the filter attribute of the bean:message tag to false:

<bean:message key="message.with.html" filter="false"/>

Does bean:message have filter ?

http://struts.apache.org/1.3.8/struts-taglib/tagreference.html#struts-bean.tld
indicates not (and that it may be necesarry to switch to bean:write).
