Hi Mark,

Your sample application worked 204 Firefox and our application does not
work.  That leads me to believe *Application Filter *is an issue. But
should tomcat throw an exception if the response is already committed?  I
will try to see if I can reproduce it using a filter with the sample app
you gave me.    Only one line change  (streamOutputBuffer.closed = true)
would make our application work.  So it seems to me that the application
filter is writing something after the stream is closed and this may lead to
this behavior.  I will try to reproduce using this app.   Do still consider
this application bug or a tomcat platform bug?

Thank you so far for your excellent support and quick responses.

Thanks,

Bhavesh
