Roller currently has an issue where line breaks in comments are not auto-converted to <br>'s. This problem only exists in the in-page comments and the twisty comments you see on this site. Today, I might've figured out the solution. It turns out that using Jakarta Common's StrutsUtils to replace new lines with <br>'s doesn't work:
#set($comments = $stringUtils.replace($comments, "\n", "<br />"))
However, using the String.replaceAll(new, old) in JDK 1.4 does work:
#set($comments = $comments.replaceAll("\n", "<br />"))
I figured this out on my current project and haven't tested it on Roller. Since I didn't find anything on this via Google - I though y'all might be interested.
Spotted on the WebWork Mailing List today. Groove Systems (Rick Salsa's employer) has some nice hosting solutions. I currently pay $30 (Canadian) for 200 MB, 5 GB Transfer and my own JVM at KGBInternet.com. Keith (at KGB) rocks because he is always quick to respond to any of my issues and always tries to help me out. However, I have to admit, Groove's Grooviest package looks pretty nice. For the same price ($30 Canadian), you get 1 GB space, 15 GB Transfer and your own JVM.
The only question I have is how much memory do you get? Keith does nothing to limit memory usage, so I'm currently set at a 512 MB max heap size. Who knows if I'm using it all, that's just what I'm set at. Oh and one other thing you might like to know:
... right now you can get a 32meg private jvm for free.
Read the read e-mail from Rick for more info.
