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.
It seems like a bug in JSP tag. Just to be sure, see if the HTML page is created correctly: if the value contains a newline, it could be a browser bug; it the newline is not there, it is possibly a JSP tag bug. Try to create a small test case (without db), just a post and display in a text area. If it does not work, then it's probably a bug. Antonio
