There seems to be an issue(bug?) when handling a run time exception from within <jsp:include> of Tomcat 3.1. If you implement the three small files as below(error.jsp, temp.jsp, and badcode.jsp), you should be able to reproduce my issue. In theory, it should display "You got an error". Unfortunately, the system displayed it's ugly head and stated "Included servlet error: 500 ..... java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward as OutputStream or Writer has already been obtained." Are there any work around for this issue? Scott (Note: please create the following files with the code as shown in a jsp directory such as "errortest") error.jsp: <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %> <%= "You got an error" %> temp.jsp: <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %> <HTML> <TITLE>Blah</TITLE> </HEAD> <body> text here <jsp:include page="/jsp/errortest/badcode.jsp" flush="true" /> more text </BODY> </HTML> badcode.jsp: <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %> <% int i = 5/0; %> =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
