I can't insert a basic HTML whitespace without getting an error. Is there any other way?

I have my implementation with spring, js, and other technologies, whenever i try to use a &nsbp; for white space it gives me the following error:

Caused by: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/views/entrada/list.jspx(94,67) The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.
