Wow, that's strange. The test works but when the body comes from the bean:write, it does not. See this page: http://agentnet.blitzdevelopment.com/public/articleSingle.do?articleID=4
It comes from the following: <textarea name="articleBody" cols="50" rows="5" wrap="phsyical"><bean:write name="article" property="articleBody"/></textarea> <br> <b>From bean:write</b><br> <str:replace replace="NL" with="<br>" newlineToken="NL"> <bean:write name="article" property="articleBody"/> </str:replace> <br><br> <b>From string typed out in JSP</b><br> <str:replace replace="NL" with="<br>" newlineToken="NL">this is a t est of newlines</str:replace> <br><br> I noticed that in the first example it does add one extra <br> at the beginning but stops after that.
