Daniel,Thanks for your quick response!I'm running 17.12.06
The service is a simple java service that calls chatGpt and returns the text
response as a json object.I use jackson to create the response text as a String.
I've run the java response string out to a file(textfile.txt) and to both the
console log and
the ofbiz log. In all cases the text is formatted.
In the webtools service engine, I run the service and the return screen shows
no formatting. Likewise,running the service in the request definition in the
controller and then displaying the result in a screen definition
testResponse.ftl, the formatting is lost.
It seems as though this is the intended behavior... or a bug. Is it possible
that Tomcat is changing it for security reasons?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

Hi Richard,
I don't think OFBiz service engine should be altering the content of a
string return value. If it was doing so I would have assumed that to be a
bug.
Do you have a small reproduction case we can check? How are you observing
that the return value has changed? Any chance the place you are observing
the string is not rendering carriage returns, newlines, tabs correctly?
If you are rendering the string in HTML, the browser is likely removing all
superfluous whitespace. In that case you would need to use <pre> tags in
your output.
Also, what version of OFBiz are you using?
Dan.
