Thanks to an email from Bob Schmertz, I have resolved the issue.
Special chars actually are passed to the server from browser and fetched by
request.getParameter(). When I write back to the browser, html omited them. After I
used <pre> tag, I see them.

request.getParameter("Name") is the way to fetch the form input. When the input is a
<textarea />, the user may type multple lines of input. It seems like
request.getParameter() will NOT fetch the new line char. It also will NOT fetch
special chars, like tab, space (in there is more than one), and new line chars. So, a
multi-paragraph text will become a clustered string after go through
request.getParameter(). Is there way to get around of this to preverve the original
format from a <textarea> ? Thanks for any comments.
