Answer 1

This will happen if during the request processing both HttpServletResponse.getWriter() and HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream() are being called. And as per the spec, it is illegal to use both OutputStream and Writer.

Check the code which is calling HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream() somewhere else in your code.

Answer 2

my problem was that i was forgetting to close the outputstream in some other place in the code that was not posted above.
