Write to the browser what is going on in case there's a problem.

String Text1 = "Servlet servSomething is shutting itself down.";
String Text2 = "Look in Tomcat's catalina.out log for information.";

String javaScript = "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.close();</script>";

// Flush to browser
hsrs.setContentType("text/plain");
try {
ServletOutputStream os = hsrs.getOutputStream();
os.write(Text1.getBytes());
os.write(Text2.getBytes());
os.write(javaScript.getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException " + .e.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception " + e.toString());
}
