I might have found the answer to this. Some application servers perform better with an output stream instead of a print writer (or the other way around). If that is the reason for this code, shouldn't that be something that is configurable? Right now the choices are hard-coded in Java. Why not allow OFBiz users choose the settings most appropriate for their installation?
