Hi!
The textarea should be retrieved as any other text field:
String textarea=req.getParameterValues("textareaname")[0];
Than You can use the <pre> tag (meening preformatted) to keep
the structure:
....
toClient.println("<pre>");
toClient.println(textarea);
toClient.println("</pre>");
......
Hope it helps,
Best wishes,
Andras.
