The problem you are facing is - the server already committed the response, that is it already wrote part of the response. Once this is done, you cannot redirect the page.
There are two options for this - You increase the default buffer size of 8k in the JSP page (the response will be committed after it exceeds the buffer size) - You can shift the logic for redirecting to the top of the page. This problem typically happens in jsp pages with considerable amount of code, or with servlets when you write to the servlet output stream before redirecting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Asad Habib" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 8:29 PM Subject: Redirecting the browser to another page > Does anyone know how to do this successfully?
