Subject: How to pretty print HTML from Struts

My Struts Views are made up of JSP and Tiles and the resulting HTML is
untidy to say the least. This causes problems when I try to compare it with
HTML mock-ups. To solve this I'm trying to use the JTidy library to pretty
print the HTML output to the browser.

 

I'm using the JTidyFilter configured as follows: -

 

     <filter-mapping>

       <filter-name>StrutsFilter</filter-name>

       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

     </filter-mapping>

  

     <filter-mapping>

       <filter-name>JTidyFilter</filter-name>

       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

     </filter-mapping>

 

This seems to be failing because the Struts Filter Dispatchers only pass the
request down the Filter Chain if it is not a Struts Request (e.g. *.action).
Therefore this config will try to pretty-print *.css, *.js, *.img etc. but
completely ignores the outputs of my actions.

 

Does anyone know a sensible way of pretty printing the Struts HTML output to
the browser?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Steve
