For the record, 3.0 was not my idea, but I went along with the majority by not
vetoing it. However, that's almost totally irrelevant -- the same people who
assume a 3.0 release *must* be stable are those that assume a 1.0 release must
*not* be -- whereas the label itself has zero impact on the facts of the matter.

Are you by chance calling it at the wrong time (i.e. after the response is
committed to the output stream)?

Hmm, does your keyboard have an auto-repeat syndrome? :-)
In case you hadn't heard, Jakarta is open to contributions of code to correct such
problems. As it happens, I (and several other folks) have committer rights in the
project's CVS tree, and I'd be happy to evaluate and apply patches to fix
problems.
On the other hand, if all you want to do is rant, that is your choice ... just
don't expect much in the way of concrete results.
