Oracle ADF breakline in JAVA

Question

I'm using oracle adf to display a table.
The results in my 'notes' field have /n in the table to represent a new line. Oracle ADF does not separate the lines. I want to manually modify the string to display the break line.
The string looks like: return new String(getAttributeInternal(NOTES).toString().replace("\n", "\n"));
That however is not working, anyone know a working solution?

I get a bunch of
's in the string where a break should be.
That would probably work if I could escape it some how.This really is an ADF question and shouldn't be asked in this forum.
You won't be able to "escape" this, you'll have to see what you can do in ADF. It would appear that somewhere ADF is using something like JSTL out to properly escape any HTML it finds. So the bottom line is that you would have to use HTML, but you can't either. So you'll have to read the relevant documentation and see what you might be able to do. I would suggest that you probably don't actually really want to insert line breaks at all but just format the width of the containing element appropriately. Not using something like out makes your application open to cross-site scripting attacks.
