You want the line breaks, either line-feed or carriage-return, line-feed to occur within the java or jsp code, not within the html code. Sometimes the html is buffered and ignored when something else puts out headers or such.
Within HTML, line breaks do not matter much Before HTML, any line break implies that HTML has started and you can get default headers without doing anything. Within JSP or Java, line breaks do not matter much. Choice of uglies. <%@ page ... %><% code here <%@ page ... %><% code here <%@ page %> ---there is here the line break of the above line--- <% at this point the response has been committed by outputting the above \r\n or whatever -----Original Message----- From: Michael Lai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 10:34 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Cannot forward after response has been committed I have an index.jsp page that checks a user's access level: <%@ page language="java" errorPage="" %> <--there is an html new-line here!!! <% String userid = (String)session.getAttribute("UserId"); if (userid == null) { pageContext.forward("login.jsp"); } else { String access = (String)session.getAttribute("Access"); switch (access.charAt(0)) { case 'A': pageContext.forward("admin/index.jsp"); case 'R': case 'W': pageContext.forward("db/index.jsp"); default: pageContext.forward("login.jsp"); } } %> And yet the above page works even with the <%@ page language="java" %> line. I don't understand why the above code works but the doesn't work for another page. What do you propose -- that I remove the <%@ page... %> line?
