Response has already been committed

[Sundaram Ramasamy <su...@percipia.com>]

Hi,

>From servlet I am forwarding jsp page like this,


	/**
	* Check for user logon
	*/

	if( req.getAttribute(name) == null ) {
		System.out.println("user is not logged on");
	
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(page).forward(re
q, res);
	}

its giving me a error:

2001-04-12 04:39:40 - Ctx( /employee ): Servlet API error: sendError with
commited buffer
2001-04-12 04:39:40 - Ctx( /employee ): IllegalStateException in: R(
/employee +
 /logon.jsp + null) Response has already been committed

any idea why I am getting this error.

I'm not so sure about this.  I believe that you have already sent data to 
the user.  You cannot forward a page after you have sent data to the 
user.  For example, after setting the content type and sending something to 
the user, and then trying to forward a page, you'll get an 
IllegalStateException as you did below.

Did you already commit content to the user?

Hope this helps.
