OK, it's true that facelets reads XML files not HTML, but if you
want HTML output, it seems perverse not to use XHTML after you've
gone to the trouble of making your document valid XML!

I must say, if facelets turns valid XHTML input into something that
is invalid XHTML output, it's broken IMO.

More answers than he wanted, probably! *g*

There are lots of ways to defines as an entity for the parser,
but unless you explicitly define it using an included dtd or other
mecanism, it does not exist. And what ever you defined entities to, they
are used only by parser, facelets does not see the entities, only the
character(s) or node(s) represented by that entity.

Facelets does not take an xhtml input but an xml template made of
various namespaces. Specs of xml 1.0 states:
[66] CharRef ::= '&#' [0-9]+ ';' | '&#x'
[0-9a-fA-F]+ ';'
We don't care about browser as our reader is an xml parser that will
feed facelets view handler. Even if you write   in your facelets
template, you probably won't get the same in facelets output but, as i
said, an unicode character that has same behaviour.
Anyway, i think the original poster has his answers now :D

Or write a tag (easy in facelets) so that you can do <n:bsp/>
or similar.

Not true, as is defined in the XHTML DTD. As long as the
doctype references this, the XML parser understands it.
The problem seems to be that the entity is being treated as
whitespace, and therefore eliminated from the XML tree, but numeric
entities are treated as text, and get built into the component tree
by facelets.

The XHTML standard mandates that hex references must use lower
case, so you should really put   (or use non-hex i.e.  ),
but most browsers would understand upper case I guess.

What ended up working for me is using " "...
Also, <h:outputText value="&nbsp;" escape="false"/> worked as
well...
Thanks guys...
Re: SIMPLE question - How can I get to work

Hi, if you want "literally" the four character & n b s p ; in the
output, you must do this:
<h:outputText value=”&nbsp;” escape=”false”/>
the &...; entities are read by xml parser and never seen by facelets,
moreover the xml parser itself has no notion of the entity and
will fail to parse it
However, non breakable space is only a special character, that is also
reachable via it's unicode value, so you can simply write
 
instead of all the awfull outputText thingy. It will not issue a
in the output html but will issue a non visual character having same
behaviour.

No, it don't work because the first thing that facelets do is parse the
xml, and   is not a correct entity in xml/xhtml.
You must use   or   (the same but using hexadecimal notation).

I think that with facelets you don't need to use h:outputText... just
put by itself.

I use stuff like
<h:outputText escape="false" value=" "/> or
<h:outputText escape="false" value="<p/>"/>
all the time How is this not working for you, do you get an error or does it
simply not get rendered?
Another way to type html inside you page is to use f:verbatim like:
<f:verbatim>
My HTML goes here
</f:verbatim>
Hope that helps
