Whitespace has different definition in XML and Java

           Summary: Whitespace has different definition in XML and Java
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


According to the JSP spec [5.2.1] in a JSP Document, all textual nodes which
contain only whitespace, except for jsp:text, are dropped. However the
definition of whitespace is not the same as that of Java. The formfeed character
is NOT a whitespace character in XML, and is in Character.isSpace(). The JSP
spec actually calls these out literally.

Yes, this is anal. I was only looking at it because isSpace is also happens to
be a deprecated method.

Patch will be attached.
