IE conditional comments do not work in JSF page in JBoss EAP

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We seem to have encountered a bug in JBoss with the handling of 'Internet Explorer Conditional Comments', The use of the follwing code does not work as expected:
<!--[if IE 8]><link rel="stylesheet" href="#{resource['css/intranet:ie8.css']}" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="#{resource['css/intranet:ie7.css']}" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="#{resource['css/intranet:ie6.css']}" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
  • We suspect that the ">" and "<" characters are being escaped internally. If we run this code, the code itself is displayed in the browser window, visible for the user.
        <!--[if IE8]&gt;&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;/test/javax.faces.resource/ie8.css.jsf?ln=css/intranet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen&quot; /&gt;&lt;![endif]-->
