I am doing the following validation. Middle newlines and newlines at the end are preserved but newlines at the beginning are vanishing. I can see the newline at the beginning being returned from the db and hibernate but they disappear when displayed in the jsp.
<field-validator type="requiredstring"> <param name="trim">false</param> <message>body is required</message> </field-validator> <field-validator type="stringlength"> <param name="minLength">1</param> <param name="maxLength">512</param> <message>body length must be between 1 and 512</message> </field-validator> -----Original Message----- From: Antonio Petrelli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 May 2007 11:22 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: newline being ignored 2007/5/17, David Harland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I have a jsp with a textarea whose name is body.

What if the newline is in the middle of the text? does it behave correctly?
