Servlet: Cannot forward after response has been committed

Question

I\'m working on servlet page that renders content based on geo-location, and I want to use both sendRedirect and forward together; e.g

Answer 1

Once you redirect, the servlet you're working on is no longer in control. You need to get the servlet that is the target of the redirect to recognize the correct condition to forward and then call forward there, with similar code:

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(RESOURCES_PAGE);
view.forward(request, response);

Even if it's the same servlet, it's a new invocation of the servlet's doGet( or other similar method.
