A simple distillation of my previous e-mail is:
Why won't tomcat let me do a "flush" inside a custom tag (other app servers
haven't complained). I.e. I want to do a jsp:include inside a custom tag.
<ipa:ifUserLoggedIn>
<jsp:include page="/footers/logged_in.html" flush="true"/>
</ipa:ifUserLoggedIn>
Any help greatly appreciated.
