Hi Benjamin the filter is needed when the response could be already committed before displaytag is called. When displaytag export data, it should be able to resect the response and change the content type. If "something" has already done that before the export will end up with a "could not reset response" or "response has already been committed" error. This situation tipically occours when using tiles (afaik response is committed after each tile is executed) or also after other custom tags which force the responce to commit (or after any response.flushBuffer(), as you can see on unit tests).
any update to the documentation is welcome, you can edit the "install" document or maybe add it to the faq. fabrizio > > > MY QUESTION: > > > My question is this: what specific problem are we solving > > > here?
