how to make a new line in a tag table (Spring MVC)?
<p>I have troubles with putting a newLine in a  Java String sended to a .jspx file.
I have a table and in a cell i want display the content of the string received from the controller as :</p>

<p>|-------|<br>
|  aaa      |<br>
|  bbb         |<br>
|-------|<br><br>
instead i get this:<br>
|-----------|<br>
|aaa  bbb | <br> 
|-----------|<br>
with wrote the br tag between aaa and bbb (i have to write it here because else  this site does a newLine in my example..) <br><br>
The code in the java controller is:</p>

<pre><code>   String a = "aaa";
   String b = "bbb";
   String cell= a +"&lt;br/&gt;"+ b;
   model.addAttribute("cell",cell);
</code></pre>

<p>I tried also (instead of the br tag) "\n " "\r\n" and "System.getProperty("line.separator")" without success</p>

<p>in the .jspx  i got:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;table:table&gt;
   &lt;table:column id="firstCellId" property="cell"&gt;
   ...
   &lt;table:column id="secondCellId" property="another column"&gt;//others tr cell of no importance..
    &lt;table:column id="secondCellId" property="another column"&gt;//others tr cell of no importance..
 &lt;/table:table&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any way to modify the cell without using the CSS?</p>
