Hi all,
I've been running into two little oddities that I thought might be worth
some discussion.
1. I was not able to redirect a page based on a JSTL condition tag (c:if,
c:choose, etc.) because the tags themselves would invariably pump some
\r\n's into the page. This of course, caused a commit on the output stream
which disallowed any redirect actions. So basically something like
<c:if test="${true}">
<c:redirect url="otherplace.html" />
</c:if>
Will never redirect.
Now, remember that the code above is actually the same as :
<c:if test="${true}">[crlf][space][space][space]<c:redirect
url="otherplace.html" />[crlf]
</c:if>[crlf]
Even so, if leave you out the extra whitespace, like so:
<c:if test="${true}"><c:redirect url="otherplace.html" /></c:if>
It will still fail. taking a look at the _jsp.java file shows the culprit.
Very early on, a \r\n combo gets written to the output stream. Naturally, I
have buffering set and autoFlush off.
Of course there are a dozen ways around this, so it's no big deal, but I
doubt that it is intentional and extra whitespace is my second point.
2. There is a ton of whitespace all over my output. Many many newlines ...
so many, that it is hard to examine the source of the output. I think that
most of it is in the bodies of conditionals... anyone else having
problems?
