Hi,

I ran into problems with an application that uses Struts (1.0.1) templates
that are related to flushing the output buffer,

On a Windows 2000 server (using IBM WSAD 1.0.2) it runs without problems,
but after deploying it on Solaris the screens were all mixed up: the content
of the template was written before the template itself was written to the
output stream. I learned that I had to set the flush attribute to "true"in
the <template:get> tag, in order to force a flush before the include. That
solved some of the problems, but not all.

Then looked for other occurences of include in Struts taglib, and, as a
test, I added flush calls here as well (directly in the Struts taglib,
because the other tags, such as InsertTag don't know the flush attribute).
Now it seems to work OK, but I wonder this is the right way to go. If these
extra flush calls are needed, then why don't the other tags, like the
InsertTag,  have a flush attribute as well?

Is there anyone who experienced the same kind of problems and knows a good
solution?

Thanks,
Sjaak

  You can try to use Tiles instead of Templates. You can do this simply by
changing the referenced library for template in the web.xml file, and also adding
the appropriate tiles.jar in your lib directory.
