String Tag Library and Dynamic Data - Why Not?

["Stanley, Jason" <Ja...@cognicase.com>]

should the tags in the string tag library not affect dynamic data? when i use static text, such as the given example...

<str:replace replace="
" with="<br>">A sentence.
Another sentence.
Some more to test. And insert Br's into.
Hopefully.</str:replace>
       
...i get the expected result...

A sentence.
Another sentence.
Some more to test. And insert Br's into.
Hopefully.

however, when i try to use this like so...

<str:replace replace="
" with="<br>"><%=(((topics_data = topics.getObject("body"))==null || topics.wasNull())?"":topics_data)%></str:replace>

...i get everything on one line. same deal with capitalizeAllWords tag. what a drag. should this not work?

if not, how about encoding form data with the replace tag before it hits the database? is that possible?


thanks in advance for any insight,
j
