Answer 1

You are forwarding to some other JSP so it commits the response

request.getRequestDispatcher("doctor_result.jsp").forward(request, response);

now you are trying to send the response back which is already committed

response.sendRedirect("doctor_result.jsp");

which is invalid

You should either forward or redirect the same response instance
