Hi,
I receive from the database HTML formatted Strings like that:

Currently results

Using the <bean:message> struts tag, I expect to display it on the
generated JSP page in bold. But, for some reason, the browser really
displays

Currently results

The source code is of course

Current results

So, somewhere happens a conversion, but I do not know where; I saw,
that before calling the <bean:message> tag, the string is still with
the formatted tags, which is ok.

try setting the filter attribute of the bean:message tag to false:

<bean:message key="message.with.html" filter="false"/>

Does bean:message have filter ?

http://struts.apache.org/1.3.8/struts-taglib/tagreference.html#struts-bean.tld
indicates not (and that it may be necesarry to switch to bean:write).
