I know that there are many other posts dealing with the very same error, but all of them are either about JSP / GSP pages or for any other reason not very helpful in my case. I'm using Spring MVC with Thymeleaf. The following function is for downloading a file.
@RequestMapping(value = "/test/download/*", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getFile(HttpServletResponse response)
{
ServletOutputStream stream = null;
try
{
stream = response.getOutputStream();
MultipartFile f = test.getFile();
InputStream is = f.getInputStream();
IOUtils.copy(is, stream);
response.flushBuffer();
stream.flush();
stream.close();
} catch(Exception ex)
{
}
return "test";
}
It does actually work, so it's not too much of a problem, but in the console, I'm always getting the following error:
2014-01-10T09:28:09.053+0100 SEVERE Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response] with root cause

As far as I see, getOutputStream()
is only called once. Also, the whole function is surrounded with a try-catch
-block. So I'd like to know, where does this error come from?
