[Opensource] how to do a redirect from a controller?

[larry hamel]

see Controller.redirectRequest()

make sure not to flush any output to the client browser before a redirect.  the error you cite is a result of the servlet/controller beginning to return data to client ("committing the response") and then trying to redirect too late.
