commiting response...

[Nikhil Jain]

Hi,
I don't understand the meaning of "Commiting the response". For example in case of forward, if we commit the response, we get IllegalStateException... In the HFS it says, if you use methods like flush(), we get IllegalStateException, but my question is why will some use this method...

will this generate illegalstateexception
writer.println("testetest");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatacher("dddd.jsp");
view.forward(request, response)

Can some one please explain...

[Christophe Verré]

writer.println("testetest");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatacher("dddd.jsp");
view.forward(request, response)

This might cause an IllegalStateException, if the buffer has been flushed before forward is called. It depends if the response is buffered. If it is, it depends also on the size of the buffer. If you've output more than the size of the buffer, the response will be committed, and an exception will be thrown when forwarding.

To add on to what Satou has said:

If you set autoFlush=true and buffer=0kb then it will cause IllegalStateException.

[Christophe Verré]

autoFlush=true and buffer=0kb

maybe autoFlush=true or buffer=0kb ?

[Shivani Chandna]

maybe autoFlush=true orbuffer=0kb ?

Well, if autoFlush=true (which is the default) and buffer size(default=8kb) is not reached, then the exception would not be raised. (Which is what you had stated earlier...

(So I had used the and instead of or).
