JSP Vs Servlet - A peculiar scenario

[Gaurav Kushwaha]

Hi,
I have a faced a scenario, wherein I am not able to know the reason for it.
While trying to display an html page (kept in my local directory), I have created 2 web projects. One with only a jsp and written file I/O code to get the file and writing in the ServletOutputStream. But it didn't work. It gave me IlleagalStateException, saying getOutputStream already called.

However, the other project wherein I had a servlet, with same code. It worked fine.

I am not understanding the reason.


Thanks

It gave me IlleagalStateException, saying getOutputStream already called.

Explains the reason - in a JSP, the output stream is automatically created by the code created by the JSP compiler so that you will have the automatic variable "out"

Examine the created servlet code to see all the work that JSP does automatically to set up out and other variables.

Are you putting Java code into your JSP?

No Bear, I am maintaining a decade long code which was written in jsp
