I think I'm reading the original poster's message right in assuming he means "white space in the generated html," but maybe I'm going off in a different direction...

Generated servlet is a .class file and I would be very reluctant to diddle with the tomcat generated .jsp files. And I dont see the need to ever mess with those, so I don't think he really means generated files.

When precompiling JSP files, the generated servlet *source* files (error$jsp.java in Tomcat 4.0.3, for example) often have large blocks of code that look like:

      // HTML
      // begin[file="/x/y/header.jsp";from=(0,46);to=(1,0)]
      out.write("\r\n");
      // end

This seems to happen when using jsp:include statements. In the file that the above example was taken from, there are 17 such blocks all in a row.

When compiled and run, this results in a lot of whitespace in the generated html which can sometimes screw up the display. I've seen this before and have always been able to work around it, but it can be a problem.

There are several code beautifiers around if that is what he is really looking for.

This won't solve the problem. One would need a way to remove the multitude of "out.write("\r\n");" statements in the generated jsps.

Howdy,
It simple: what does he mean by "extra" white space? White space at the
end of a line? White space preceding text? White space in the middle
of words? This is a text-processing problem. Depending on the
requirements, writing such a text processors can be trivial or highly
complex.

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if someone here knows some filter that removes
extra white spaces from content generated by servlet or jsp.
