Response.End() in Java/JSP

Question

In .net you have the ability to Response.End() in any context you want. Is there similar functionality in Java/JSP?

Thanks,

Sam

Answer 1

In my experience you have to do the following:

out.flush(); // Send out whatever hasn't been sent out yet.
out.close(); // Close the stream. Future calls will fail.
return; // Return from the JSP servelet handler.

NOTE:
This will not work inside a function because you'll just end up returning from the function but not from the JSP servelet handler (which I'm assuming is your intention).

Answer 2

You could try

servletResponse.getOutputStream().close();

Not quite sure if that will have odd side effects though, in case the server needs to send any data after your content...
