JDev 10.1.2 : ampersand eacute; converted to ampersand amp;eacute;

Question

Hello all,
I am writing an interface that will offer to the users the possibility to enter standard HTML escaping sequence for accentuated characters like for example <ampersand>eacute; (because they do not have this particular character on their keyboard). Those characters are stored as-is in an Oracle database.
When using interfaces developed with JDev 10.1.2, either with uix or jsp, those characters are well extracted from the database but are converted at display time to <ampersand>amp;eacute; (this is visible in the html source code of the page). This makes those characters displayed as <ampersand>eacute; to the user, where I would like them to be displayed as é (this conversion should be done automatically by the browser if the original character has not been modified by the interface).
Is there a way with JDev to make a particular field of the database be displayed without being translated (<ampersand> converted to <ampersand>amp;)? Or is there any workaround to this issue?
Here is the code of my interface (.jsp generated with JHeadstart, but this seems to be more a JDev issue):
<td class="prompt" nowrap="nowrap">Description</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<c:out value="${bindings.InstituteDescription}"/>
</td>
Thanks in advance for your reply.

By default <c:out/> tag "escapes" the output, option escapeXml is implicitly true
To change this behaviour add the option: escapeXml="false"
In your case:
<c:out value="${bindings.InstituteDescription}" escapeXml="false"/>
Hope it helped.
