Depending on your servlet engine, out.flush() may do this for you. However, the
engine might still be buffering things that you have no control over -- details
will be engine specific.
One thing you did correctly in your example above, but can be a gotcha if you
forget about it, is to render complete HTML elements. If you had not included
the "</p>" tag, your browser would probably have displayed nothing even if
flushing works, because it would be assuming additional text for that paragraph
is still coming down the pipe.
