Doubt regarding flush attribute in jsp include action

[rinki goyal]

Hello,

In JSP2.0 specification, regarding the "flush" attribute of "JSP:inlcude" action,
default flush is false.
If flush is set to true, then the buffer is flushed before the inclusion.
I am having two jsp's test1.jsp and test2.jsp.

In test1.jsp, i am including the test2.jsp using:
hello this is test1 jsp
<jsp:include page="test2.jsp" flush="true" />

and test2.jsp is having code :
hello this is test2 jsp -------------

<%
try{
throw new Exception("SDfdsfsd");
}catch(Exception e){
throw e;
}

%>


but out put is :
hello this is test1 jsp
hello this is test2 jsp -------------

irrespective of flush attribute's value.

Please clarify doubt regarding flush attribute value.

There's really no point in catching that exception if all you're going to do is rethrow it.

The results you're claiming don't seem right. I tested it myself just to see.

When I set flush to true, I get the text from the first test page... or at least all the text that precedes the jsp:include. The stack trace only appears in my console.

When I set flush to false, the stack trace appears in both my console and my browser.

If you are using IE, make sure that you aren't getting a cached version of the page. If you use the refresh button (hotkey of F5), it should hit your server instead of using a cached version.
