Yes - I've got some complex tags and the resultant HTML has loads of
redundant whitespace in all the wrong places. Trying to compare with
original mock-ups takes for ever.
I like doing this with a filter because it's easy to remove if I'm having
problems later. I've just got it working and it's doing what I want. I
appreciate it may cause problems later...
The correct config is: -
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>JTidyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>StrutsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
It was just the ordering of the filters that was causing problems.
Is there a better way of tidying up the HTML being emitted from a Struts
View?
Kind Regards,
Steve

Ugh. IMO relying on textual representation of a DOM is fragile and broken,
especially if you're unable to ignore whitespace-is there a reason you're
doing it like this?
