Look in the web.xml in the conf directory and use the trimSpaces parameter..

<servlet>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>trimSpaces</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

well I don't consider that an security issue. just because you know
someone is using jsp tags, it doesn't mean you know how the whole
architecture works. The only thing it tells a competitor is that it is
feasible to use jsp tags.

beyond that, all the important and interesting stuff is what makes an
impact on how well a site works and performs.

but I could be wrong.

it is not on by default due to spec issues. for tomcat to be strictly

If you search the mailing list back to 2001-2002, you see there was
lots of discussion about it. the funny thing is, it also makes it easy
to tell when a website uses jsp tags.


that's an easy way to figure out if a website is using a servlet
container and jsp tags.

That seems like a security issue to me. You can fingerprint a remote site
and determine what technology they are using, even if they have taken steps
to hide the JSP ending from their files.

Yoav, thanks; this works. One question; why isn't this true by default?
