Subject: Buffering the response
> Hi all !!
>
> As my servlet performs some very large search operations, the final output

> I would like to provide the user with some message like "Your search is in

just

>
> I tried using the response.flushBuffer() method, but the response is
> displayed only after the
> entire search is over.
> Please help.
