How to put “new line” in Spring Expression Language?

What would be the exact SpEL expression to go to the new line. Here is my configuration:

 <logging-channel-adapter id="log"
    channel="loggingChannel" level="INFO" 
    expression="'DealId: '+ payload.dealId \n + 'Name: '+ payload.name" />
Solution

  • You can use this as a work-around:

    <int:logging-channel-adapter id="loggingChannel" logger-name="tapInbound"
    expression="'DealId: '+ payload.dealId + T(System).getProperty('line.separator') + 'Name: '+ payload.name"
    level="INFO" />

    EDIT:

    Just to clarify, SpEL supports escape characters, the problem is the java DOM parser doesn't understand escapes.

    This works too...

    expression="'DealId: '+ payload.dealId + '&#10;Name: '+ payload.name"
