If by committed you mean sent to the user, it happens at the end of a servlet call or if a flush() of the output stream is invoked.
One common use of flush() is to output data to the screen for the user to see before a long process is complete, such as a task that would require the user to wait 5 minutes. Its preferable to give them an update status during that 5 minutes than having them watch a screen that just says 'loading'.

The response is also committed when the buffer gets filled if i am right.
Are there any other cases when a response is committed without calling flush or forwarding the response?

Nila, you are correct. If in the process of writing to the response the buffer gets full, it will be implicitly flushed.
