I can't say for sure because I can't see the whole Action class execute
method, but....it appears you are thinking the Action class is the servlet
and it is not, you cannot forward from the Action class as your Action
returns a forward object.  Try using the Struts mechanisms instead of brute
force, its easier and more flexible.

Subject: How to handle forward instructions within an action class?


I have the following code in an action class:

else if(action.equals("sendMessage"))
 {
     String member = request.getParameter("member");
     RequestDispatcher view =
request.getRequestDispatcher("sendMemberInvite.jsp?member=" + member );
     view.forward(request, response);
}


This code works successfully but is causing the following error in the
tomcat log files

Servlet.service() for servlet action threw exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been
committed

Can someone shed some light on why I am getting this error and how I should
handle forward instructions within an action class. Any help or insight
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
