No response from tomcat

[Tejas Shah]

I have a static method which i am calling from a Servlet and passing the request and response objects as arguments. Purpose of this method is to write the response back to the client...
This is a refactored code, please let me know if you want any more details...

	public static int forwardRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String content, Token token)
    throws IOException {

          //some code...          
          LOG.info("IN response \n"+respContent);    //this logs the respString correctly everytime
    	  writeStringToStream(respContent, response.getOutputStream());
    	  response.getOutputStream().close();	    
  
        return status;
    }

	
     public static void writeStringToStream(String string, OutputStream os) throws IOException {
		PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(os);
		printStream.print(string);
		printStream.close();		
     }

Everything works fine in most cases.
Now whenever the respContent String's size goes beyond a certain limit(more than 240 lines or something) in a client application, I am not receiving any response. However, the log statement here produces the correct log everytime regardless of the size. Client is in another JVM. No Exceptions or errors occurs.


This seems to be related with some tomcat configuration or something, As I tried to replicate the issue in several machines but somewhere i was able to, somewhere i was not...please provide your inputs I'm stuck with this since long
