Please let me know how to overcome this error and what might be the reason for the error. Thanks in advance.

If my memory serves correctly,this exception occurs if you try to modify response object after you have performed either sendRedirect or forward.

[William Brogden]

As I recall it is due to trying to modify the response headers after the first bufferload of response stream has been sent. Frequently due to writing some to the response and then forwarding or redirecting.

The indicated fix is to decide on redirecting or forwarding before anything gets written to the response output stream.
