Tomcat JSP(2.0) Document how to stop automaticly closing empty body tags with /> instead of </tagname>

Question

The question is. If I use JSP Documents (or JSP 2.0) and If I put a TAG without a BODY it is automaticly closed I dont want that.

so If I have <div id=....> </div> it is automaticly converted to <div id=.../>

How I can stop this ?

I am using tomcat is there any configuration about that ?

P.S. the reason to want to stop it is because it simple "fuckes" the JQuery stuffs that the designer company are using.

Perhaps you should check the definition of the JspServlet in web.xml in tomcat's conf directory. There are parameters that such as trimSpaces that alter the output to save space.
