Java Servlet Specification Version 2.2, Section 8.4 (bottom of page 40) includes
this sentence:
"Before the forward method of the RequestDispatcher interface
returns, the response must be committed and closed by the
servlet container."
Thus, it is not legal to add anything to the output stream after the forward() call
returns.
