After forwarding control to another JSP page or servlet using the RequestDispatcher.forward() method, can the response be modified once the forward method returns? For example,

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/somepath");
rd.forward(request, response);

response.getWriter().println("Some more output");

No you can't. If you try it should throw IllegalStateException.

Does control return to the original forwarding servlet after the forward operation?
