Silly question. I wrote a servlet that gets init params from the web.xml and stuffs them into the request which is the displayed by JSP.
But when I try to make it a string with newline characters it still prints everything in one line - like newline characters turn into regular space characters. This is the code: String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator"); String rName = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("rName"); String kName = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("kName"); result += "Family Members" + newline; result += rName + newline; result += kName + newline; I tried "\n", and '\n' as well. Thanks.
