What would be right EL expression in JSP to have a new line or HTML’s <br/>?
Here’s my code that doesn’t work and render with ‘\n’ in text.

<af:outputText value="#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS}\n#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS2}"/>

    Since you want to output <br />, just do:

    <af:outputText value="#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS}<br />#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS2}" escape="false" />

    The attribute escape="false" is there to avoid the <br /> being HTML-escaped.

    You can even display the two messages in separate tags and put the <br /> in plain text between them.

    <af:outputText value="#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS}" />
<br />
<af:outputText value="#{msg.TCW_SELECT_PART_ANALYSIS2}" />

    If you’re still on JSF 1.1 or older, then you need to wrap plain HTML in <f:verbatim> like:

    <f:verbatim><br /></f:verbatim>
