flush still not working.

[Apu Shah <ap...@esaya.com>]

i tried using the following code over http and it still didn't work.

any ideas would be appreciated.

tia, apu

i am using tomcat 4.0.3, apache 2.0.34 over ssl with the warp connector.
i have set the connector allowChunking to false.

the problem that i see is that after i use
getRequestDispatcher(page).include(req,resp) and flush the resp.out, the
page does not get flushed to the browser. essentially i am trying to
simulate a "please wait" page while my server does something that takes
a longish time.

am i missing something? i have explicitly flushed the buffer (using both
resp.flushBuffer() and out.flush()), set autoFlush="true", made
allowChunking="false".... anything else i can try or is this a
legitimate bug?

or does it have something to do with ssl? i haven't tried this without
ssl....

here is sample code to illustrate

======== CODE START =============

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;

public class test extends HttpServlet {

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
	throws IOException, ServletException {
	
	// Set content type, et all
	resp.setContentType("text/html");
	
	// Include waitpage, flush response.
	String waitPage = "/wait.jsp";
	getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(waitPage).include(req,resp);
	resp.getWriter().flush();
 	log("Flushed " + waitPage,null);

	// Sleep for a minute. The client browser should be viewing the 
	// wait page by now.
	try {
	    Thread.currentThread().sleep(60*1000);
	}
	catch(InterruptedException ie) {
	    log("test",ie);
	}

	// Ok, we're ready to show the next page. Send a redirect.
	PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
	String uri = "http://www.cnn.com";
	out.println("<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0; url=" + 
		    uri +"\">");
	out.flush();
	log("Sent refresh to " + uri,null);

    }    

    // Logging, for illustrative purposes only.
    public void log(String msg, Throwable t) {
	StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
	buf.append(this.getClass().getName());
	buf.append("> ");
	buf.append(msg);

	ServletContext ctx = this.getServletConfig().getServletContext();
	if(t != null)
	    ctx.log(buf.toString(),t);
	else
	    ctx.log(buf.toString());
    }	


}    

======== CODE END =============

wait.jsp can be any jsp page, for example

<%@page language="java" autoFlush="true"%>
waiting.....


i see the logs showing me that the wait page has been flushed. :
2002-06-25 12:52:07 jsp: init
2002-06-25 12:52:14 test> Flushed wait page /wait.jsp
2002-06-25 12:52:47 test> Sent refresh to http://www.cnn.com


but the browser never renders the wait page, instead it just waits for a
minute, and refreshes to www.cnn.com. i tried with different user agents
(netscape 6.2, mozilla 1.0 on linux and ie 6 on xp) to eliminate the
browser from the picture.

tia.
