Wouldn't the solution be, rather than rewriting the bean:write tag, be
for *someone* to write a tag which in the processing of the body
substitutes \n for <br />.
You would use it like
<usertag:br><bean:write property='aaaa' /></usertag:br>
I have one which sticks in <tr> </tr> after a given number of <td> or
<th> if you want a sample.
This way there is a clean deliniation between struts and user code.

The other side of the coin is that maintaining line breaks in any
fashion is *not* what people who are simply rendering HTML output want.
At best, one could make this an option, but it's certainly never
something I would use.
