Servlet forwarding

[Ravi Singh]

After forwarding control to another JSP page or servlet using the RequestDispatcher.forward() method, can the response be modified once the forward method returns? For example,

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/somepath");
rd.forward(request, response);

response.getWriter().println("Some more output");

[D K Singh]

No you can't. If you try it should throw IllegalStateException.

[Ravi Singh]

Does control return to the original forwarding servlet after the forward operation?

[Ramakrishnan thiyagarajan]

Hi,
forward source is Responsible issuing the response.

Does control return to the original forwarding servlet after the forward operation?

Why not write some code and see?
