Despite the solutions presented here I think JSPs should do stuff
like PHP does it (much easier than having to install filters, seems
kind of silly to install a filter just to remove whitespace). Right
now I am doing the following, which is not great either:
<p><%--
--%><c:out value="foo1" /><%--
--%><c:out value="bar1" /><%--
--%><c:out value="foo2" /><%--
--%><c:out value="bar2" />
</p>
But at least it's a little cleaner than cramming all tags together. (?)
Regards,
Neil
