Practical Settings for buffer and autoFlush

[Michael42]

Hello,

What can you advise as to practical settings for:
<%@ page buffer="n" %>
<%@ page autoflush="[true|false]" %>

Being new to JSP I am trying to understand the real world purpose for these.


Thanks,

Michael42

I wouldn't bother setting these attributes - the defaults are fine. If you set the buffer to a certain size, and set flush to off, then your JSP's will throw an exception, so I would never set the buffer to no autoflush - just let the basic output stream handle this.

In reality, setting the buffer size in these days of high speed connections etc is near enough pointless.
