The new tertiary operator in JSP 2.0 may help clean this up.
<tr ${rowNum % 2 == 0 ? 'bgcolor="ffff99"' : ''}>

in to output
I've noticed that JSP never suppresses any whitespace at all outside the < >
characters.
I'm doing HTML output, so this doesn't effect me to much in the final output. Looking
at
my resulting HTML source sure is an eyesore, though. Especially when I use optional
HTML
attributes. Below is a snippet of code I use to make even numbered rows appear a
different color:
<tr
<c:if test="${rowNum % 2 == 0}"> bgcolor="ffff99"</c:if>
>
The resulting <tr> tags look like this:
<tr
>
<tr
bgcolor="ffff99"
>
I have some that appears MUCH worse, too. No solution to it as far as I know, besides
either having some really unreadable JSP source code or doing some additional parsing
to
get rid of it.
