[jira] Updated: (COCOON-1964) Redirects inside a block called via the blocks protocol fail

["Alexander Klimetschek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Alexander Klimetschek updated COCOON-1964:
------------------------------------------

    Priority: Critical  (was: Major)

Just to remind everyone: doing a redirect inside a called block and seeing it to fail is very critical IMHO. Should be fixed before 2.2 final.

Maybe a clean solution would be to implement BlockCallHttpResponse.sendRedirect() that forwards the redirect to the original request object.

> If you do a redirect (from within a piece of flowscript "cocoon.redirectTo('cocoon:/foobar')" or via redirect-to in the sitemap) inside a block that was called via the block: protocol will fail since the re-use of the outputstream of the response (which happens to be a BlockCallHttpServletResponse) does not work.
> This is due to the use of getWriter() after getOutputStream() has already been called. The servlet api says that only one of them should be called, so there is a check in the implementation of getWriter() that will throw an IllegalStateException. The patch removes that check, which is kinda hack, but I don't know of any other cases within cocoon where such a re-use is made.
> The problem could be avoided if during the redirect a reset() or resetBuffer() would be called on the response, but for some reason this does not happen with a redirect from within a flowscript for a form.
