The problem is that everything outside of the directives is sent to the
browser - your directives are separated by newline characters:

<%@ page import="java.lang.*" %>\n
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>\n
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>\n
\n
<html>\n
<body>\n
[etc..]

If you really want to get rid of the blank lines, you'll have to remove the
white space between the directives:

<%@ page import="java.lang.*" %><%@ page import="java.util.*" %><%@ page
import="java.io.*" %>\n

This reduces readability of the code, however, so I don't recommend it.  If
you're really upset about it, perhaps:

<%@ page import="java.lang.*" %><%
%><%@ page import="java.util.*" %><%
%><%@ page import="java.io.*" %>

.. but now we're getting silly.

Subject: Blank lines on JSP


Hi all,
 I have an issue regarding JSPs.
 Most of my JSPs have many directive statements (jsp tags) at the beginning
of the file,
and because which, the contents (html )are displayed  after a few blank
lines !

any idea to rectify it ??

I have tried putting some html tags at the top of the jsp file , then added
the directives after them. but still the same result :(

Thankx
Jeevan
