Unless I'm missing something, it looks like you want to be using <smvc:textarea> instead of the plain HTML <textarea>.

Thanks for the reply but

Smvc:textarea doesn't work .. no such tag

I have already tried it ... do we have any textarea tag in spring TagLib.

Yes (http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/spring-form.tld.html#spring-form.tld.textarea), there is.
