Hello all,

i have a class that holds a description field which is a string. I would like to know if it's possible to give line brakes in this desciption.

in html it would look like this :

desciption first part
<br />
desciption second part

The String is just printed out to the screen like this

desciption first part <br /> desciption second part

So there is no linebrake and the user sees the <br/> element printed out to the screen.

I also tried the '/n' new line in the String field, this also doesn't work.

So the question is, how can i print out a string and give the String elements in order to know where to put linebrakes.

The trick is to specify filter="false" within the <bean:write> tag. This will tell struts that you know what you're doing and can be trusted to put html tags in the contents of your <bean:write> tags that will not completely foul up the page.
