Servlet - java.lang.IllegalStateException：已为此响应调用了getWriter（）

Question

I'm using GlassFish as Server and Netbeans IDE 8.0 Here is my project structure.

How my program works:

1. client open localhost:8080/Beer
2. she/he selects a beer (in index.html)
3. it will POST to BeerSelect.java (BS for short)
4. BS will call BeerExpert.java and then call result.jsp for finally send Test.jar to client

Here is the important code in BS.

    /* Result.jsp */
    String c = request.getParameter("color");
    BeerExpert be = new BeerExpert();
    List result = be.getBrands(c);

    request.setAttribute("styles", result);
    RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("result.jsp");
    view.forward(request, response);

    /* Test Client Download */
    response.setContentType("application/jar");

    ServletContext ctx = getServletContext();
    InputStream is = ctx.getResourceAsStream("/Test.jar");

    int read = 0;
    byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];

    OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
    while ((read = is.read(bytes)) != -1){
        os.write(bytes, 0, read);
    }
    os.flush();

The Error:

Answer 1

It is illegal to use both ServletRequest.getOutputStream() and ServletRequest.getWriter(). This has been answered here in detail here.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already using output stream

Answer 2

将Test.jar移动到WEB-INF文件夹中。

Answer 3

您可能必须将test.jar移动到项目的源文件夹中，以便可以访问它。

Answer 4

It is explicit in ServletResponse javadoc for method getOutputStream() :

Either this method or getWriter() may be called to write the body, not both, except when reset() has been called.

But I think you did not show the relevant code because according to the stacktrace, the error occurs in controller.BeerSelect.processRequest , in BeerSelect.java line 83.

With what you show, I cannot guess where getOutputStream was called, but the error says that it was, so you can :

• either find where it was called and use getWriter instead
• or replace getWriter with getOutputStream in BeerSelect.java .
