public voiddestroy()

        // Tomcat 4.0 reuses instances of its HttpServletResponse
        // implementation class in some scenarios. For instance, hitting
        // reload() repeatedly on a web browser will cause this to happen.
        // Unfortunately, when this occurs, output is never written to the
        // BufferedHttpResponseWrapper's OutputStream. This means that the
        // XML output array is empty when this happens. The following
        // code is a workaround:
