September 2002 23:42 An: Tomcat Users List Betreff: Re: line feeds in response I had a similar problem a couple of days ago. I had to remove the <@ page directive > at the start of the jsp page for this to work. That is for the 3 junk chars to stop showing up. I didn't have time to figure out why this happens. We were migrating from JRun to Tomcat. From servletx to jsps. I don't know what parser you use. I use xerces to parse the document. And it works fine w/ or w/o the 3 chars. I convert XML to HTML, etc. But if you have a homegrown parser (that uses some publicly available parser underneath), you might need to start looking for the xml start tag (<xml version.../>). One of our developers who was parsing the xml discovered that the xml he was getting contained those 3 chars. I suppose he was reading char-by-char instead of looking for the starting xml tag. Note, IE doesn't care about the 3 chars. It's displays the xml document w/ or w/o the 3 chars. Hope this helps. RS "Alexander Stage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/09/02 10:43 AM cc: Please respond to Subject: line feeds in response "Tomcat Users List" Hi all, got the following problem: I'm generating xml with jsps. Before I write out any response, I'm using out.clearBuffer() to clear anything from the output buffer in order not to write out new lines etc. However, this doesn't seem to work. I always get 3 line feeds before the xml starts, which causes most parsers to fail parsing that xml. I was wondering wether this is caused by the dispatcher mechanism I'm using: RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(jspUrl); dispatcher.forward(request,response); since the resulting servlet code for the jsp begins output without any line feeds, so this problem can't have it's origin the jsp. The generated source code is: // begin [file="/includeHeader.jsp";from=(0,2);to=(0,15)] out.clearBuffer(); // end // HTML // begin [file="/includeHeader.jsp";from=(0,17);to=(1,0)] out.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n"); I tried to use also the clear() method in the out object, also reset(), resetBuffer() in HttpServletResponse, with the same results. The line feeds are always outputted before the " <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n" String. I'm running jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4-LE-jdk14 on nt 4.0. Any help would be really, really appreciated.
