getting java program from textarea

[vishnukumar]

Hi,

I have a text area in my web page. Where I wrote some java program and submitted the form. While I use request.getparameter("textarea_name"); I got the text, but the break(for the next line) is not fetched.

For example,

In textarea I wrote,

class Add{
public Add(){
int a;
int b;
}
}

But, I got in the request as,

class Add{public Add(){int a;int b;}}

I need to get the same pattern.

Please, help me to achieve.

Thanks.

Hi,

I got exactly, what I expect with the code. But, What I need is?. I am getting values from the textarea and storing it to the database, then retrieving from the database and displaying in the web page. I am using MySQL DB. While displaying in the web page, all carriage return are absent. I am getting the values in a single line.

I think, its better, where carriage return are replaced with "\n".

Please, guide me.

Thank you
