multiline properties

[Richard Raue]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. Tried the Search but my problem is not jet described here.

I'm using Spring Web MVC and use

<fmt:message key="my.multiline.property" />

to read language-specific content from messages_[country_code].properties. So far, everything works fine. Now I'd like to define a property with a multiline value. Something like

my.multiline.property = line1 <linebreak here> line2

But in the JSP no line break is displayed.

Here's what I've tried:

my.multiline.property = line1\nline2

my.multiline.property = line1\r\nline2

my.multiline.property = line1\r\n\
line2

my.multiline.property = line1\u0085line2

my.multiline.property = line1\u000A\u000Dline2

and even

my.multiline.property = line1<br />line2

The output in my JSP is all the same:

line1 line2

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Richard

in a related case, I did use the 'value element:
<property name="x">
<value>Multi
line
value</value>
</property>

Maybe you can make something with this hint.
