Newline doesn't work
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.
