In response to my own post:
I apologize for being stupid. I did not realize that the properties editor
of my IDE (netbeans) automatically converted escape characters as well as
other special characters... So every \n I typed became a \\n :( No wonder it
didn't work.
Cheers, Jan

Subject: application resources and escape characters
Hi list,
I extract language specific messages from the struts
application resources
within my applications logic to generate the subject and body of auto
generated emails. I used to do this via string constants but
switched over
to using the resources. Everything works fine except the line
breaks I would
like to have in the text. I generate only plain text emails
and used to have
something like the following to insert line breaks whenever I
needed them:
String body = This is a test \n\n new line below...;
Resulting in the following email body:
mail body
This is a test
new line below...
/mail body
That worked fine as long as I used the String constants (as
in the example
above) but ceased to do so after switching to the
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources variant. My
application
resources contain the same string as before but the email
message then looks
like this:
mail body
This is a test \n\n new line below...
/mail body
Any ideas how this can happen, or possibly a solution? I can
not fall back
to sending html mails unfortunately...
TIA, Jan
