Hi,

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward because the response has already been committed

this exception is thrown in the servlet when a request is forwarded. Can anyone please let me know Why this exception is thrown and how can it be handled.

I am using JBOss/Tomcat Server, the exception is thrown in the servlet when a request is forwarded with large size of data. This exception is not thrown always.

This is a servlet issue, not a JBoss issue. You cannot forward after you have started writing a response.
