Hi,
If the output from the JSP page is buffered then , the buffer is cleared
before the request is forwarded
However, if you are using the directive buffer=none and anything is written
to the buffer, then if you use the forward syntax
Then you will get an IllegalStateException.
If thats the error you are getting better check out...
If your sole purpose is to goto an error page you can
Declare a directive as %@page errorpage="Error.jsp"% <mailto:%@page
errorpage=> over the page from where you want to forward
And then create an Error.jsp page
Over that you can state <%page isErrorPage="true"%>
And out here you can display the message saying "invalid login" blah
blah....
Hope this solves your problem
