IllegalStateException: Current state = FLUSHED, new state = CODING

[Stewart]

This mysterious exception is being thrown at random intervals by my
Tomcat installtion. Once its thrown once, it will always rethrow with
each request until Tomcat is bounced.

I have searched all over google for any clues about this. Most
references to it are referring to outdated versions of Tomcat, Java,
log4j etc. In fact, references to this error later than 2003 seem rare
indeed; yet here it is.

I'm completely lost because:
(1) it's the only exception being thrown - there are no other errors
or behaviour of interest, except that no response gets to the client
(2) the stack trace contains no reference to any of my own code. It
involves only Tomcat, log4j and Sun's nio.

Anyone have any clues?

Tomcat version is 5.5.16.
Java version is 1.5.0_08.
Log4j version is 1.2.13.

Thanks

Solution Found

I found a solution. I don't know its a permanent one or not. Since this solution is implemented yesterday without any problems.
When Initializing velocity servlet this line was missing previously in our code.
"velocity.setProperty("runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.category", "velocity");" Which I think caused the problem. Once added, its running without any issues.
Sample code:

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init();
String dir = System.getProperty("com.abc", "C:/abc");
abcPropertiesFile = dir + "/properties/abc.properties";
abcProperties = PropertiesHandler.getProperties(abcPropertiesFile);
templateDir = abcProperties.getProperty("rssDir");
velocity = new VelocityEngine();
velocity.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,"org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.SimpleLog4JLogSystem");
velocity.setProperty("runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.category", "velocity");
velocity.setProperty("file.resource.loader.path", templateDir);
velocity.setProperty("velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.to.replace.global","true");
velocity.setProperty("velocimacro.library", "macros." + "rss" + ",sys/macros." + "rss");
try {
velocity.init();
}
catch (Exception e1) {
logger.info(e1, e1);
}

}

Hi rajeshmuthu,
I am having the same issue.
Can you confirm that this solution worked?

 

[rajeshmuthu]

Its working without any problem.
