You are right. Control does return to the calling servlet. It just couldn't
write to the response. It would be nice if an exception was thrown.
After control returns to the calling servlet, I try forwarding to a second
servlet and that doesn't seem to work. The first servlet that was forwarded
to did not change the response.
Is multiple forward within a servlet not supported/allowed?
