Section 5.5 of the spec:
When a response is closed, the container must immediately flush all remaining content in the response buffer to the client. The following events indicate that the servlet has satisfied the request and that the response object is to be closed:
• The termination of the service method of the servlet.
* • The amount of content specified in the setContentLength method of the response has been written to the response. *
That's what I figured. I'm just a bit uncertain about the corner/end case where nothing is to be written to the response, i.e. for a content-length of 0.
• The sendError method is called. • The sendRedirect method is called.
Looks like the behavior is OK.
I was kind of guessing this was to the letter of the spec -- I'm fine with my changes (which would not have been necessary but for some old mechanisms which produce a hash of headers and toss them at code which simply spits them at the response in hash order -- with a few special cases to use more specific methods where possible).
