Well, text in a text area is not HTML markup -- it's just text -- to
render the links you will have to output the data using bean:write
filter="false" -- since you need to preserve line breaks take a look at
this thread

Good Luck!

Hmmm -- if a user enters the following into the text area:
My favorite site is <a href='http://struts.apache.org'>Struts</a>
Then you render this using <bean:write filter="false"/> it should work.
If the users are just entering the URLs (the http://... part) then you
will need to generate the "<a href" part yourself.

Hi All,
Our users would like to enter urls in the text input area and when
click the link bring up the page. I tried using filter="false" for
bean:write but that did not work. We use simple struts-jsp
architecture. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

I have done this before without issue -- please clarify "did not work"
-- also, take a look at the page source of the generated page -- this
should clue you in to what is happening.
