I have a JSP accessed through JBoss. It renders a list (a search result). If the response gets big, approximately larger than 200k the response is truncated. I can see how the page just ends in the middle of a tag in Firefox. IE totally freaks out an so does Fiddler. Responses smaller than 200k are no problem.
Anyone has experienced this? I don't know where to look for the problem... any suggestions are welcome.
Maybe it has something to do with flushing the buffer? thath number (200k) ringed the bell of a problem I had with it. Place a page directive like this:
<%@page buffer="500kb" autoFlush="true" %>
and play with the buffer size and autoflush values.
Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately - it didn't work. I have tried it but the issue remains at about 200kb. And it turns out the default buffer is only 8kb... so I suppose it is not the buffer size that causes this.
More suggestions?
If your JSP renders a very complex html page, then it might just be the browsers tripping over their own feet. Can you retrieve the page via wget or curl? Is it truncated then, too?
I second Henning's suggestion. I have used JSPs on JBoss to return multi megabyte responses, I would look at the code or possibly an intermediate proxy server rather than JBoss.
Thank you all again. During the pasted days I've experienced a disk crash, vomiting children and a trip to Spain.
Since the disk crash I cannot reproduce this behavior! I have not lost any code and I have the exact same JBoss. But I have a slightly different Java and Firefox version. No Fiddler installed (although I had it turned off on my old machine).
I still have no clue what caused it. But also I don't care anymore :P
Does anyone find a solution to this? I am facing similar issue without any success.
Thanks Chirag
