Need Help Please!

[Manjit Barman]

Hi All,
I am writting an application using Swing Components.
I have a JTextPane, some buttons "Bold", "Italic". The text in the JTextPane should be able to be modified to Bold/Italic when i click the Bold or ITalic Button and then i am storing the Bold/Italic text that is in the JTextPane into an Oracle 9i Database. I know its going to be stored as a String.
Now, I want retrieve the same data and display with BOLD or Italic (The same way it has been modified before storing into DB). can anyone tell me the way to do that?
It would be really appraciable!
Thanks!

store "bold","italic" infomation seperatly in the DB and retrive them when you desplaying them and show them accordingly.

Hello Manjit,

You might try to store your text in html format.

Hope that helps,

Hi
Kanishtha
Could you please tell me little more about how to store them separately in DB or show some code if possible? That would be really great!


Hi
Lionel Badiou
Initially i tried storing in html format with JSP form but when i dispaly them it shows up all <p>, <b>, <i> etc which i don't want to show to the user.

Anyway, Thanks a lot both of you for your suggestion.

Hi Kanishtha,
Sorry, i was busy, didn't get a chance to log in.
Anyway, The solution is
call the style document from the TextPane and store in the DB.
Document doc=jTextPane1.getStyledDocument();

Hi Manjit, you store the whole document into the database ?
You store them as a Char field ? or what type of field for the database did you use?

Thanks
