<bean:write> tag trims out Leading/ Trailing spaces...

           Summary: <bean:write> tag trims out Leading/ Trailing spaces...

Hi,

I noticed the following behaviour of the <bean:write> tag provided by the 
STRUTS (release 1.0.2) framework. I do not know if this shud be qualified as a 
BUG or not.

A Bean which is referenced to in my JSP returns String.
The exact content of the String is say �    Jeevan�. 
In other words there are LEADING SPACES in front of the text.

I print that in JSP with 
<bean:write name=�myBean� property=�name�/>

In simple HTML if I wanted to preserve the spaces I wud replace them by �&nbsp;�
However I noticed that the <bean:write tag does not preserve the spaces, cause 
the STRUTS code does not handle it.

To ensure that SPACES are converted to �&nbsp;� with <bean:write I made a small 
change in the STRUTS code.

In com.apache.struts.util.ResponseUtils, static method : filter(String value)
Added the following case(let)

for (int i = 0; i < content.length; i++) {
  int iC = content[i];
  switch (content[i]) 
  {  ...... //the original case stmts!
     ...
     case ' ':  // if � � ie. SPACE put &nbsp; into the response.
         result.append("&nbsp;");
         break;
  }
 
  return (result.toString());

Has anyone reported a similar behaviour ? 
Are the STRUTS framework developers working on a soln! ?
