java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream()

在做图形验证码的时候随便从网上找了段代码，结果出现了这个异常，详细内容如下：

[http-8080-Processor25] ERROR: org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/xixibar].[jsp]#invoke : Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

刚开始都没看明白怎么回事，后来找Google帮忙，找到如下解释：

 

在tomcat5下jsp中出现此错误一般都是在jsp中使用了输出流（如输出图片验证码，文件下载等），没有妥善处理好的原因。

具体的原因就是在tomcat中jsp编译成servlet之后在函数_jspService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 的最后有一段这样的代码
finally {
    if (_jspxFactory != null) _jspxFactory.releasePageContext(_jspx_page_context);
}
这里是在释放在jsp中使用的对象，会调用response.getWriter(),因为这个方法是和response.getOutputStream()相冲突的！所以会出现以上这个异常。

然后当然是要提出解决的办法，其实挺简单的（并不是和某些朋友说的那样--将jsp内的所有空格和回车符号所有都删除掉），

在使用完输出流以后调用以下两行代码即可：

out.clear();
out = pageContext.pushBody();
