RE: Best way to parse a String and replace line feeds with
f
or html?
Thoughts:
1) Assuming that you have a separate value object to carry this
item to the view, try replacing any "\n" with "<br>" in the action.
2) Have you also considered using the <pre> HTML tag?

Subject: Best way to parse a String and replace line feeds with <br> for
html?
Situation:
using the html:textarea element tag to enter notes on an object, thats
getting persisted as a blob in our database. I would like to be able to
output this to html with the same formatting.. ie the line feeds work. Whats
the best way to do this? I tried the jstl:core c:out tag and it didnt work
(did not goto the next line), tried the struts bean:write tag same problem.
Is there another struts tag library I can use? Thanks, David

Barett:
Thanks for the tips.. I completely forgot about #1, and I think I will
implement #2 as it doesn't require me modifying my object at all.
Thanks!

That does mean you are adding some html formatting to the action which
isn't so nice. Another option that I have used while waiting for the
next version of JSTL is the jakarta string taglib:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/intro.html
eg
|<str:replace replace="NL" with="<br>NL" newlineToken="NL">
A sentence.
Another sentence.
Some more to test. And insert Br's into.
Hopefully.</str:replace>|
So you can leave the object/form as is, and use this taglib to change
newlines to <br>'s on the JSP page
