JSP trimDirectiveWhitespaces Example
JSP trimDirectiveWhitespaces Example explains about how to remove unwanted white spaces from your JSP responses
trimDirectiveWhitespaces is new feature available on JSP verion 2.1, as before we can't able to eliminate unwanted white spaces
By using this feature you can have a complete control on your JSP pages and you can trim down the JSP response by removing the white spaces
Below example, I am showing how to trim down a JSP page using trimDirectiveWhitespaces page directive tag
For this, I am creating a simple JSP page and adding trimDirectiveWhitespaces = "true" as a page directive attribute (see the JSP page)
