****************************************************************
WebSphere was not properly resetting the buffer after
the buffer was flushed for response headers.  When the
stream attempted to reuse that buffer, the current position
in the array was not being reset thus throwing an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Problem conclusion
To resolve the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, WebSphere
will now reset the response buffer after each flush.
