i have a web application built with HTML(front-end),java(server-side)
and i have a textarea when posting some data with line breaks (pressing enter after a word)
the line breaks are not reserved (the data appears next to each other with no line breaks)
how to preserve the line breaks ?, note that i am not using the tag when displaying (have to)
i am using the code server side to convert new lines into br
public String saveLineBreaks(String text) {
return text.replaceAll("\n", "
");
}
but it doesn't work properly

This is just a wild guess, as I don't know what web framework you are using etc. but:
Text from a will probably have line breaks (\n), but HTML will interpret them as whitespace. So on the java side, you need to do something like this:
String forOutput = input.replace("\n", "
\n");
However, in almost every imaginable web framework, there is some utility method that does this for you manually or automatically, so the question is to find the right one for you.
