Keep JSPX from creating self closing tags (<div></div> != <div/>)

Question

JSPX has the lovely side effect of turning:

<div class="magic"></div>

Into:

<div class="magic" />

For many browsers this causes pandemonium and mayhem with layout even though it is valid XHTML. Consequently I have resorted to using a groovy script to find all possible bad HTML with the following regex:

def m = html =~ /<(\w+)[^>]*?><\/(\w+)>/
def bad = m.findAll { it[1] == it[2]  };

Is there way to have the JSPX XML processor not to self close tags?

Answer 1

I've been using <div><jsp:text/></div>
