>Description:
I can watch my servlet write data into the output stream, but this data is not being flushed form JServ to Apache. Should out.close() in JServConnection.java be servlet_out.close() instead? Switch this fixes my problem. 

> From JServConnection.java...

                if (servlet_writer != null) { 
                    servlet_writer.close();
                }
                out.close;

change to:
                if (servlet_writer != null) { 
                    servlet_writer.close();
                } else
                    servlet_out.close();
  
Why is this loop needed in the JServOutputStream close function?

        public void close() throws IOException {
            int l;
            do {
                l = in.available();
                in.skip(l);
            } while (l > 0);
            
            sendHttpHeaders();
            out.close();

The page that is giving me trouble has data available on it.
