My ActionForm is public class MyActionForm extends ActionForm { private String myMessage ; public String getMyMessage() { return myMessage ; } } Now that I set myMessage to "line_1<br>line_2" so as to display it on the page as line_1 line_2 If I use <bean:write name="myActionForm" property=""myMessage/> in jsp, I would get line_1<br>line_2 on the page. Without using struts-EL and scriptlet, is there any solution printing out line_1 line_2 Regards, PQ "This Guy Thinks He Knows Everything" "This Guy Thinks He Knows What He Is Doing"
