How exactly does a JSP response work?

[Peter <pe...@ccs.neu.edu>]

Hi all,

        I've run into a problem with JSPs. The problem appears to be that
I've been using the response.sendRedirect like a return statement meaning
that I don't expect any of the code following that to actually execute.
However it appears that the redirect only gets executed after all the code
is completed. So if anyone knows off hand how the response works please let
me know.
                                                                    -Pete

The only way you can use response.sendRedirect() in a JSP page is inside a
scriptlet, right?

All the code in your scriptlet just gets copied into the source code of
the generated servlet.  In a regular servlet, you would have to issue a
"return" statement after calling response.sendRedirect(), so you need to
do so in a JSP page as well.
