Hi Jon, unfortunally that is not the solution since I'm clearing the buffer just before starting the output by writing out "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" and as I wrote, there are no line feeds outputted by the generated servlet source code. I'm also 100 % percent sure that the outputstream is nowhere else used and if I would write out some line feeds, out.clearBuffer() should throw them out. It also looks like out.clearBuffer() has no effect.

Remove them and you should be ok. There has been a discussion on this before on this list. Search the archives :) -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Stage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 September 2002 12:12 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: line feeds in response Hi all, got the following problem: I'm generating xml with jsps. Before I write out any response, I'm using out.clearBuffer() to clear anything from the output buffer in order not to write out new lines etc. However, this doesn't seem to work. I always get 3 line feeds before the xml starts, which causes most parsers to fail parsing that xml. I was wondering wether this is caused by the dispatcher mechanism I'm using: RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(jspUrl); dispatcher.forward(request,response); since the resulting servlet code for the jsp begins output without any line feeds, so this problem can't have it's origin the jsp. I'm running jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4-LE-jdk14 on nt 4.0. Any help would be really appreciated.
