I assumed Suresh's question was a JSP problem, but I'm not sure. If it
is JSP related, I don't think Ken's suggestion fixes it; out is an implicit
JSP object.
My first thought is something more simple, such as syntax not shown in
the example; but, spec version 1.1 indicates two other possible problems:
Spec 1.1 indicates a possible problem caused by buffering... check the
autoflush page directive in the spec. Change the buffer state or out.flush()
should fix this the problem.
Spec 1.1 indicates another possible problem. The "initial" state of out
is a new JspWriter object, suggesting the possibility that out may be
re-assigned to a nested instance of JspWriter. if so, what problems may this
cause?
The spec also says, "Jsp authors are prohibited from writing directly
to... the PrintWriter... associated with the ServletResponse." Does this
pose a problem with Ken's suggested code? I don't know.
