BodyContentImpl does not override javax.servlet.jsp.BodyContent.flush(); The implementation of BodyContent.flush is: public void flush() throws IOException { throw new IOException("Illegal to flush within a custom tag"); } My question is why. Is it an over sight that BodyContentImpl does not override this behaviour or is it really illegal to flush from within a custom tag; and if it is illegal then where in the JSP1.1 spec is this stated?
