Mutiple forward() calls

[sajith pc]

Hi all,

I have jsp page which uses the RequestDispatcher.forward() method multiple times.

I am using the apache tomcat 6.x version as my server. I have three deployments in the named test1,test2,test3.

For a particular http request i need to pass to all the three deployments.

For that i wrote a jsp page put it under the webapps/ROOT/testfporward.jsp

   
<%
ServletContext firstApp = this.getServletContext().getContext("/test1");
RequestDispatcher rdFirstApp = firstApp.getRequestDispatcher("/app/notify.htm");
rdFirstApp.forward(request,response);
ServletContext secondApp = this.getServletContext().getContext("/test2");
RequestDispatcher rdSecondApp = secondApp.getRequestDispatcher("/app/notify.htm");
rdSecondApp.forward(request,response);
ServletContext thirdApp = this.getServletContext().getContext("/test3");
RequestDispatcher rdFirstApp = thirdApp.getRequestDispatcher("/app/notify.htm");
rdThirdApp.forward(request,response);
%>


 

While executing this i am getting the following error.
"cannot forward after response has been committed"

Is there is anything wrong in my code.
Which is correct way to invoking multiple http requests for a incoming request?
Please help me to solve this issue..

What, precisely, are you trying to do? Include three other pages?

Thank you for the quick reply.
No, i am not trying to including files.

I want to pass the HttpServletRequest to other three deployments in the server.

testforwrad.jsp get external http request, then i want to pass this request to all the three deployments test1,test2,tset3

Is this possible..
please help me

Well, you can't forward a request once any output has been written to the client.

I suppose you could create a bunch of requests using a client library like Apache's HttpClient, but the purpose of what you're doing eludes me.

It is not possible to forward a request if one is all ready commited.. yes you can do 1 thing put if & else in such a way that at a time only one request can be forwarded...
