Hi, I had a search around, and don't think this one has been asked before.
I've been writing my JSP pages as XML documents (.jspx suffix), and one difference that annoys me a little between using the terse XML document syntax and the (pre-2.0) legacy syntax are line breaks, or lack of in the former. The processed XML document results in the XHTML where the tags are unbroken by either spacing or line breaks. I understand fully the concept behind why this is the case; the first XML document is parsed down to it's node tree, and then the XHTML is generated based on this tree. However, I am of the understanding that the white spacing doesn't have to be lost along the way. I checked the jasper code, particularly org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node, and a cursory inspection reveals a lot of .trim() calls, that may be unnecessarily removing the spacing. However, I am not so familiar with this code to say decisively. In summation, this may be a bug/area of improvement. Regardless, is there a way to embed line breaks via configuration? I feel confident to be able to achieve these with ugly, ugly CDATA sections, or some like technique (jsp:text?)... but before I go to that trouble, is there an easier/neater way?
