new line characers gone?

[Guy Katz <gk...@allot.com>]

hi;
i have a forum application.
i use an h:inputText to get the user entered message.
when displaying that entered text with outputText component, the text is
displayed in one continues chunk (see example below). the user newlines
(when the user push enter to goto a new line and then continues writing
text) are gone.

am i missing something here? what did i forget to do?
i am using JSF RI + MYFACES components
thanks,

example:
user enters:
"hi
hello"
output is:
"hi hello"

The <h:outputText> is probably writing out the newline, but the
browser doesn't interpret newline characters as line breaks.  You're
going to have to either make your own tag that will automatically do
that substitution for you, or you'll have to replace the newline
characters with a <br> tag before you pass it to the outputText.  This
could be done in the bean getter.
