Error in invoking servlet from JSP

Question

Hi - again!
after being thoroughly reprimanded for posting on the wrong board, and hence seeing the error in my ways, all help greatly appreciated....
I have read elsewhere that it is possible to call a servlet (which produces HTML) from within a JSP, thus keeping a nice clean MVC paradigm and making it easier for non-java people to design the front-end.
I am having difficulty getting it to work and any help is much appreciated:
My servlet (Mole):
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try {
            out.write("###some html stored in DB#####");
        } finally {
            out.close();
    }my JSP:
<jsp:include page="Mole" flush="false"></jsp:include>the error I get
Internal error flushing the buffer in release()

Answer 1

in your web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Mole</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>srvlt.Mole</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Mole</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Mole</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
package srvlt;
// Import servlet packages
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
// Import other Java packages
import java.io.*;
public class Mole extends HttpServlet {
        public void init() throws ServletException {}
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
                throws ServletException, IOException {
            response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            try {
                out.write("###some html stored in DB#####");
            } finally {
                out.close();
}in your jsp
<jsp:include page="/Mole" flush="false"></jsp:include>
