RE: Suppress whitespace generation?
I guess you could write a filter that parses out all the linefeeds not wanted in the response. hope it helps -reynir -Original Message- From: Lomvardias, Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27. febrúar 2002 16:33 To: 'Tag Libraries Users List' Subject: RE: Suppress whitespace generation?

RE: Suppress whitespace generation?
Hi Chris, The question is somewhat general. For instance, depending on your needs, you can write a tag that trims its BodyContent (using String.trim()) and simply contain other tags within it. So that: foo:trim foo /foo:trim would produce equivalent output to foo:trimfoo/foo:trim If you're suggesting, by contrast, that a particular taglib in Jakarta Taglibs produces unwanted whitespce, let us know, and the tag libraries could be patched to avoid this, or (as in the case of the Input taglib) to take a flag that switches behavior between pretty printing and avoidance of unnecessary whitespace. To help you further, I think we'd need more information about exactly what problem you're experiencing. -- Shawn Bayern Author, JSP Standard Tag Library http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this spring from Manning Publications) On Wed, 27 Feb 2002, Lomvardias, Christopher wrote: Haven't heard any responses to my earlier question below.

Re: Suppress whitespace generation?
I suggest the choose tag in the jstl (and probably other tags as well) should trim their content. Considering: c:choose c:when test=$param:foo == 'bar1'.../c:when c:when test=$param:foo == 'bar2'.../c:when c:when test=$param:foo == 'bar3'.../c:when c:otherwise.../c:otherwise /c:choose produces 5 unnecessary newlines and spaces. Since you never expect content to be between a choose and a when or otherwise it's probably ok to remove it. -Steve Shawn Bayern wrote: Hi Chris, The question is somewhat general.
