AFAIK, the only way in java to get what you ask for, is to raise an
Exception at the end of the forward() method.
Even doing so, you could wrap the forward() call in a try / catch block,
avoiding whatever mechanism the servlet engine
could use to get the desired behaviour.
Thespecification says that no ouput must be commited from the calling
servlet *before* the
forward() call, but says nothing about conditions after the call (Servlet
2.3 Spec. SRV 8.4).
If normal control flow should be broken after the call, I think the Java
Team would be in great problems ;-)
