Another way to do it is to create a wrapper method in your form that
does the replacing. So if you have a text property in the form, create
a textAsHTML method that return the test property with the line breaks
replaced. That could get ugly if you have lots of fields like that, so
I would then suggest using a taglib. What's the downfall in adding
another taglib? I think it is certainly cleaner than the scriplet
method you have below.

though it adds yet another tag library to my pages!
best i came up with is:
<% pageContext.setAttribute("lf", "\n"); %>
<c:out value="${fn:replace(employee.contactAddress,lf, '<br>')}"
escapeXml="false"/>
is there really no escape sequence for new line in el?
Would seem like a rather big shortfall to me!

Subject: nl2br equivalent?
I am a bit surprised, but there doesn't seem to be an
equivalent to php's
incredibly useful nl2br in jstl...
Is there an easy method I'm missing that will output a string after
converting line breaks to <br> tags?
Daniel.
