thrown.

flush action. As a result, this caused a NullPointerException.
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server user applications accessing
request.StoredResponse object.
NullPointerException was thrown by StoredResponse.setBufferSize method.
The method should check if the writer of the Response object exists before
invoking a flush action.
