I use SQL server to populate TEXTAREAs from the DB and update the DB as well. I'm using the <html:textarea> struts tag to accomplish this, and I'm not experiencing any problems. If I understand your message correctly you're saying that the string value is not coming directly from the DB but from Swing. Its probably something along the way thats messing up your string.
