Spring XML and defining end of line characters in a bean property
If you need to define and end of line character (EOL) like \n in your Spring XML files in a bean property you can’t do this
<bean id="some-bean-id" class="some-class">
<property name="my-property-name" value="\n"/>
</bean>
This simply wont work. You’ll end up with a backslash followed by the letter n. What you have to do is to use an escape character like this
<bean id="some-bean-id">
<property name="my-property-name" value=" "/>
</bean>
