Hi, I have been stumped by the following problem: newlines within text received from an html form show up in the form ”\r\n” in our Struts 2 -based application. I am wondering how this is possible because I have verified the following:
1) The system is running on OS X or Linux, so the OS default newline is ”\n”. 2) The Java virtual machine reports ”\n” as its newline character (System.getProperty(”line.separator”)) when running the Struts 2 -application in a debugger. 3) When inspecting the form text in a browser debugger, the text shows newlines in the form ”\n” just before the form is submitted. I double-checked this by inspecting the actual character code values. 4) When I set a breakpoint to the bean-setter of the corresponding action in the Struts 2 application and let the form submission from the browser be executed, the setter receives the form text as a String-parameter where the newlines have become ”\r\n”. What can be the reason for this? The form submission mechanism (something on the browser-side or in Tomcat) or the way Struts 2 handles form parameters before feeding them to the action? I want to get rid of these extra carriage returns but would very much like to find some other way than writing special code (such as a custom parameter interceptor) for reverting the text back to its original form... -Heikki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
