Preserving line breaks from a inputTextArea

In my app, I have an h:inputTextArea whose content will be saved in the DB and later be printed in some other page. The problem is that I need to print the text as it was typed in the textarea, but the line-breaks get stripped away during the process.

How can I make sure that the component passes the text as it was typed to the app? Btw, I'm using jsp/jsf/ajax4jsf components.

TIA

The components do pass the text as it was typed. The problem is that in HTML all whitespace is reduced to a single space, including line breaks. Popular ways to solve this include using the HTML <pre> tag or using styles.
