Without knowing specifically what version of Tomcat you are asking about,
or what flushes occur that you do not want, it's difficult to give you any
specific answers. However, a couple of general notes apply:
* Flushes occur when the application asks for it (response.flushBuffer()).
* Flushes occur when you write more bytes than the size of the buffer.
You can set this (for servlets) with response.setBufferSize() or
(for JSP pages) with a <%@ page buffer="8kb" %> directive.
* Flushes occur when a JSP page says <jsp:include flush="true">, which is
the only legal setting for JSP 1.1.
* In Tomcat 3.2.1, at least (don't know if it changed in 3.2.2) Tomcat
does a flush when a servlet does RequestDispatcher.include(). This is
not really correct behavior, but it was required to work around some
much more serious issues with included servlets.
* Normally, you should prefer making your applications behave the way you
want through the standard servlet APIs, rather than modifying the
container itself -- that way, you will be portable to other servers
as well.
