Carriage returns in OAException message

Question

Hi,
I am creating an OAException message based on a String;
String exceptionMessage = "";
            if (pageContext.getParameter("OrgId").isEmpty()) {
                exceptionMessage = "Please select a valid Organisation";
            if (pageContext.getParameter("BankAccountNum").isEmpty()) {
                exceptionMessage =
                        exceptionMessage + "\nPlease select a valid Bank Account";
throw new OAException(exceptionMessage, OAException.ERROR);
Is it possible to have carriage returns in an exception message? I have added /n within the String, however it is not showing a carriage return when running it?
Kind Regards
Carl

If you are using message dictionary you can put carriage returns easily.(Whenever you are raising any error message, as per standards you should use message dictionary. You can change the message text without touching the java code).
Here are the steps
1) Create a message named XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE using Application Developer responsibility with your custom message. Make sure you set the application(as per below example I am using Human Resources) of the message properly as it needs to be referred in your java code
2) Just write below code where ever you want.
            OAException myOAException = new OAException("PER", "XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE", null, OAException.ERROR, null); //You can even use OAException.ERROR or OAException.WARNING etc. Just explore the class OAException for further options.
            throw myOAException;
So as per the message you set, it will display carriage returns. You can even use HTML tags I guess but I never tried.
If you want to set tokens in your message you can use below code
       MessageToken[] arrayOfMessageToken = new MessageToken[] { new MessageToken("MY_TOKEN", "My Token Text") };
       OAException myOAException = new OAException("PER", "XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE", arrayOfMessageToken, OAException.ERROR, null);
       throw myOAException;
