Thoughts: 1) Assuming that you have a separate value object to carry this item to the view, try replacing any "\n" with "<br>" in the action. 2) Have you also considered using the <pre> HTML tag?

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?
