Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	JBoss Portal produced xhtml type documents that contained URLs generated in plain-text. This caused issues with W3C validation when certain plain-text characters such as ampersands (&) in URLs were not converted to entities. The fix implements a configuration flag defined in configuration.properties (gatein.w3c.url.encoded), which allows URLs to be encoded to W3C requirements, or maintained in plain text. URLs produced by JBoss Portal can now be rendered according to W3C validation rules. The configuration flag permits the old plain-text behavior for compatibility purposes.

Description Lucas Ponce 2014-02-17 08:01:53 EST

JBoss Portal 6.1.0 produces XHTML 1.0 Strict type documents.

For a w3c validation, URLs should be encoded using html entities instead of plain "&" characters.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login into Portal.
2. Review source code generated.
3. Validate with http://validator.w3.org/ tool.

Actual results:

There are a number or URLs with plain "&" characters not compliant with XHTML 1.0 Strict type document spec.

Expected results:

URLs encoded and passing w3c validation test
