In the 2.4 version of the servlet we have: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html#forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,%20javax.servlet.ServletResponse) where the relevant (for me) is: <snip> forward should be called before the response has been committed to the client (before response body output has been flushed). If the response already has been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException. Uncommitted output in the response buffer is automatically cleared before the forward. </snip> But response.isCommitted returns false (!), the implementation is ServletResponseWrapperInclude: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jasper/docs/api/org/apache/jasper/runtime/ServletResponseWrapperInclude.html And I don't see any IllegalStateException. So I now ask, is there a way to know if I can forward or not?
