Hi, forward() is supposed to be used only when nothing so far has been written to the buffers. That is why the ServletContext has a include()- method...
I think there is a reset() somewhere supposed to allow a forward() after having written something, but it will fail also if some buffer has been flushed. regards Alexander Jesse -----Original Message----- From: Boudreau, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 9:25 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: response has already been committed I am using the Struts Template Tag Library with Tomcat 3.3 and I am receiving the "Cannot forward because the response has already been committed" javax.servlet.ServletException. I know that the cause is that some page is being flushed or written and then I am trying do a <jsp:forward page="xxx.jsp"/> I don't know why the pages are being flushed or how to fix the problem. I tried upping the page buffer, but that did not solve the problem. Does anyone know what the problem and resolution is? These are the JSP pages with the problem: mainTemplate.jsp <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld" prefix="template" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %> <%@ page buffer="20kb" %> <html:html locale="true"> <head> <title><template:get name="title"/></title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/templates.css" charset="ISO-8859-1" type="text/css"> <html:base/> </head> <body background="graphics/background.gif"> <table> <tr valign="top"> <td><template:get name="sidebar"/></td> <td> <table> <tr><td><template:get name="header"/></td></tr> <tr><td><template:get name="content"/></td></tr> <tr><td><template:get name="footer"/></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html:html> home.jsp <template:insert template='/mainTemplate.jsp'> <template:put name='title' direct='true'> <bean:message key="home.title"/> </template:put> <template:put name='header' content='/header.jsp' /> <template:put name='sidebar' content='/sidebar.jsp' /> <template:put name='content' content='/homeContent.jsp'/> <template:put name='footer' content='/footer.html' /> </template:insert> error.jsp <%@ page buffer="12kb" %> <%@ page isErrorPage="true"%> <%@ page import = "org.apache.log4j.Log" %> <% Log logger = new Log("JSP Error Handler"); if (exception != null) { logger.error("JSP Error",exception); } else { logger.error("JSP Container Error, the exception object should always be filled"); } %> <jsp:forward page="unavailable.jsp"/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
