Overriding grails.views.default.codec='html' config back to 'none'

Question

In Grails (<2.3), if I leave grails.views.default.code=\'none\' in the grails Config.groovy, it\'s up to me to HTML encode my expressions explicitly in the G

Answer 1

To summarize the various levels at which the codec can be applied:

Set Config.groovy's grails.views.default.codec='html' to get HTML escaping by default on all ${expressions} in the application.

Then when you want to default a whole page back to none, use the directive:

<%@page defaultCodec="none" %>

or

<%@ defaultCodec="none" %>

To disable HTML encoding for one expression in a page that is otherwise defaulting to HTML, use <%=expression%> notation instead of ${...}.
