True, but this at compile time when the JSP is compiled; thats a one time yet that is already slow due to the JSP being compiled. You should see how ugly these HTML files are without trimSpaces on.
- There's a slight change of bugs or sub-optimal behavior. For example
a subtle one was pointed out the other day: with trimSpaces on,
${something} followed by a space becomes just ${something} without a
space after it. But for some HTML tags, e.g. <img>, and some browsers,
this causes different display behavior.
It seems better to turn it on and then isolate these bugs. Our Tomcat shop ran for months without knowing about the trimSpaces parameter. It seems like a hack to turn off trimSpaces by default rather than fix any bugs that might happen because it is on.
