How can I replace newline characters using JSP and JSTL?

Question

I have a list of bean objects passed into my JSP page, and one of them is a comment field. This field may contain newlines, and I want to replace them with semicolons using

Answer 1

This is similar to the accepted answer (because it is using Java to represent the newline rather than EL) but here the element is used to set the attribute:

" />
${fn:replace(myAddress, newline, "
")}

The following snippet also works, but the second line of the element cannot be indented (and may look uglier):

    
    ${fn:replace(myAddress, newline, "
")}
