java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed

[Ajay Njallacattu]

Hi,

We have deployed an Application in Tomcat which is developed using Spring. We are getting the following exception frequently in the Tomcat error log.

Can anyone help us in resolving the same?

org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl internalGetPageContext

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed

Somewhere in your code there is a statement which tries to create a session after so much output has been written that the response headers have been sent.

Since creating a session involves inserting a cookie in the response headers, this is not legal.

1. Rearrange your code so that session creation comes before writing output
- OR -
2. Increase the buffer size in the JSP page directive.
