/**
*
* The actions and template data in a JSP page is written using the JspWriter
* object that is referenced by the implicit variable out which is initialized
* automatically using methods in the PageContext object.
*
* This abstract class emulates some of the functionality found in the
* java.io.BufferedWriter and java.io.PrintWriter classes, however it differs in
* that it throws java.io.IOException from the print methods while PrintWriter
* does not.
*
* Buffering
*
* The initial JspWriter object is associated with the PrintWriter object of the
* ServletResponse in a way that depends on whether the page is or is not
* buffered. If the page is not buffered, output written to this JspWriter
* object will be written through to the PrintWriter directly, which will be
* created if necessary by invoking the getWriter() method on the response
* object. But if the page is buffered, the PrintWriter object will not be
* created until the buffer is flushed and operations like setContentType() are
* legal. Since this flexibility simplifies programming substantially, buffering
* is the default for JSP pages.
*
* Buffering raises the issue of what to do when the buffer is exceeded. Two
* approaches can be taken:
*
* - Exceeding the buffer is not a fatal error; when the buffer is exceeded,
* just flush the output.
*
- Exceeding the buffer is a fatal error; when the buffer is exceeded, raise
* an exception.
*
*
* Both approaches are valid, and thus both are supported in the JSP technology.
* The behavior of a page is controlled by the autoFlush attribute, which
* defaults to true. In general, JSP pages that need to be sure that correct and
* complete data has been sent to their client may want to set autoFlush to
* false, with a typical case being that where the client is an application
* itself. On the other hand, JSP pages that send data that is meaningful even
* when partially constructed may want to set autoFlush to true; such as when
* the data is sent for immediate display through a browser. Each application
* will need to consider their specific needs.
*
* An alternative considered was to make the buffer size unbounded; but, this
* had the disadvantage that runaway computations would consume an unbounded
* amount of resources.
*
* The "out" implicit variable of a JSP implementation class is of this type. If
* the page directive selects autoflush="true" then all the I/O operations on
* this class shall automatically flush the contents of the buffer if an
* overflow condition would result if the current operation were performed
* without a flush. If autoflush="false" then all the I/O operations on this
* class shall throw an IOException if performing the current operation would
* result in a buffer overflow condition.
