flushing output to the browser fails

[William Claxton <wi...@openasia.net>]

We have a servlet that flushes output to the browser, and it works fine on
Websphere & IIS, but it doesn't work with our Tomcat environment.  Our
environment is RH Linux 8, Apache 2.0, and Tomcat 4.1.18.  We have
connected Apache and Tomcat, using AJP13.

The servlet is doing a lot of backend processing, and needs to keep the
browser connection alive by flushing a status line at the end of each loop.
 The code that handles the output flush is very simple:

try {
	String str = getString("status_message");
	OutputStream fout = (OutputStream) vars.get("_output");
	fout.write(str.getBytes());
	fout.flush();
} catch (Exception err) {}

Is this perhaps a configuration issue with Tomcat or the connector?
