*Before* ResourceAction returns null, the response output stream has been written, flushed, and closed. The only thing that the app server or the web server have left to deal with is that null. There is no wrapper in this case and no proxy in the sense you are talking. The OutputStream from an HttpResponse object writes to the client. <snip> > The point being, just because the app server CAN serve everything, > doesn't necasserily mean it WILL with a web server in front. </snip> But, in this case, the OutputStream does and there is no "pass it on" functionality in there that would incorporate any reference or use of the web or app server. The fact that this OutputStream ends the process might be one of the factors favoring ResourceAction. <snip> > >>ceteris paribus > > > > </snip> > > > > Heh, I meant to tell you last time, this is Latin, not Greek.

Hilarious Remember "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" where the Greek guy has a way of turning everything to Greek history, etc.? Well, Ms. "Economopolous" is clearly Greek and her name is Economic-city. (Plato's "Republic" was really "Politia" which means "The City". "Republic" comes from "Republica" which was a Latin translation.) Anyway, this is ALL ceteris paribus. (You can tell Latin from the endings, "ibus" is the dative plural.) <snip> > I did notice, but my point is that the browser settings would override > any tags or headers you set.
