I am trying to catch exception in servlet filter and the forward to an error page.
But when I catched the exception in filter and using request.getRequestDispatcher("/error.html").forward(request, response); to forward to the error page it is throwing me the error saying Cannot forward after response has been committed.
Code:
public class TestFilter implements Filter {
private String encoding = null;
public void destroy() {
encoding = null;
}
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
double value = 1/0;// to make an exception
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
request.getRequestDispatcher("/error.html").forward(request, response);
}
}
@Override
public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Stacktrace:

I made the ArithmeticException to specify the problem. If I move the code double value = 1/0; before chain.doFilter(request, response);,it will not throw Cannot forward after response has been committed exception.
I don't know how to fix the problem. If an exception occurs after chain.doFilter(request, response);, how can I catch it and forward to another page?
