Sorry all--I'm still stumped. Tried the suggestions and here's what I found.
I've subclass HttpServletResponseWrapper and overloaded the following
methods:
public void flushBuffer();
public void sendRedirect(String str);
public void sendError(int sc);
public void sendError(int sc, String msg);
in my new response wrapper. These methods have been disabled while
processing is in the scope of my filter (I also record if these methods are
called). I've replaced the response object with my new wrapper:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain fc)
throws java.io.IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException {
ResponseWrapper resp = new ResponseWrapper((HttpServletResponse)(res));
And I've found that sendError(), sendRedirect(), and flushBuffer() are not
being called while in the processing is in the scope of my filter. In other
words the filter looks something like:
dofilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain fc)
{
ResponseWrapper resp = new ResponseWrapper((HttpServletResponse)(res));
//resp.isCommitted() returns false
//some processing work
//resp.isCommitted() returns false;
fc.doFilter(req,resp);
//resp.isCommitted() returns TRUE
//some more process work
return;
}
If I know that sendError(), sendRedirect(), and flushBuffer() are not being
called how would response be sent (provided autoflush is false and the
buffer size is large enough for the print writer). Thanks for the help (and
patience)!
