Best way to parse a String and replace line feeds with
for html?

[David Erickson <de...@cmcflex.com>]

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

You'll either need to write a custom taglib, or use a scriptlet as follows:

<% myString = myString.replaceAll("\n","<br>"); %>
