Is it possible that the replacement is actually not working, and
something is translating ^M to <br> on page output? Perhaps try writing
the string directly to a file or System.err to check?

I suspect that something between your code and the JDBC driver is not
actually doing what you think it's doing. The driver knows nothing about
HTML escapes or CR/LF in strings, it just passes them on to the backend.
