Good afternoon... I had a similar issue generating XML files. I realise white-space shouldn't be an issue in XML but it was for our browser. Perhaps you are having a similar issue in your case, so this might help.
When I followed convention and put the <%@ ... %> directives first, and then my <? xml ... ?> line the browser couldn't validate the XML because it didn't start on the first character of the first line (i.e.: because of all the blank lines). The solution was to ignore the convention and start my file with <? xml ... ?> and then put my <%@ ... %> directives and then put the rest of my JSP. Perhaps you could start your JSP page with <html> and the put the page and taglib directives? In what way is your HTML code being screwed up?

At the top of my JSP I have the following lines: <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean"; prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/display" prefix="display" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-nested"; prefix="nested" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %> <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> When I look at the compiled JSP, there are seven blank lines (i.e. out.write("\r\n"); ). Is there anyway to have the JSP compiler (were running Tomcat 5.0.18 Stable) NOT generate these lines? I guess they come from the <%.... %> sources lines, but it really screws up my generated HTML code.... Thanks!
