      • containsHeader

        boolean containsHeader​(String name)
        Returns a boolean indicating whether the named response header has already been set.
        Parameters:
        name - the header name
        Returns:
        true if the named response header has already been set; false otherwise
      • sendError

        void sendError​(int sc,
                       String msg)
                throws IOException
        Sends an error response to the client using the specified status code and clears the output buffer. The server defaults to creating the response to look like an HTML-formatted server error page containing the specified message, setting the content type to "text/html", leaving cookies and other headers unmodified. If an error-page declaration has been made for the web application corresponding to the status code passed in, it will be served back in preference to the suggested msg parameter.

        If the response has already been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException. After using this method, the response should be considered to be committed and should not be written to.

        Parameters:
        sc - the error status code
        msg - the descriptive message
        Throws:
        IOException - If an input or output exception occurs
        IllegalStateException - If the response was committed
      • sendError

        void sendError​(int sc)
                throws IOException
        Sends an error response to the client using the specified status code and clears the buffer. This is equivalent to calling sendError(int, String) with the same status code and null for the message.
        Parameters:
        sc - the error status code
        Throws:
        IOException - If an input or output exception occurs
        IllegalStateException - If the response was committed before this method call
      • sendRedirect

        void sendRedirect​(String location)
                   throws IOException
        Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL. This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet container must convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response to the client. If the location is relative without a leading '/' the container interprets it as relative to the current request URI. If the location is relative with a leading '/' the container interprets it as relative to the servlet container root.

        If the response has already been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException. After using this method, the response should be considered to be committed and should not be written to.

        Parameters:
        location - the redirect location URL
        Throws:
        IOException - If an input or output exception occurs
        IllegalStateException - If the response was committed or if a partial URL is given and cannot be converted into a valid URL
      • setDateHeader

        void setDateHeader​(String name,

        Sets a response header with the given name and date-value. The date is specified in terms of milliseconds since the epoch. If the header had already been set, the new value overwrites the previous one. The containsHeader method can be used to test for the presence of a header before setting its value.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the header to set
        date - the assigned date value
        See Also:

        void addHeader​(String name,
                       String value)
        Adds a response header with the given name and value. This method allows response headers to have multiple values.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the header
        value - the additional header value If it contains octet string, it should be encoded according to RFC 2047 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt)
        See Also:
        setHeader(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
      • setIntHeader

        void setIntHeader​(String name,
                          int value)
        Sets a response header with the given name and integer value. If the header had already been set, the new value overwrites the previous one. The containsHeader method can be used to test for the presence of a header before setting its value.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the header
        value - the assigned integer value
        See Also:
        containsHeader(java.lang.String), addIntHeader(java.lang.String, int)
      • addIntHeader

        void addIntHeader​(String name,
                          int value)
        Adds a response header with the given name and integer value. This method allows response headers to have multiple values.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the header
        value - the assigned integer value

        setIntHeader(java.lang.String, int)
      • setStatus

        void setStatus​(int sc)
        Sets the status code for this response. This method is used to set the return status code when there is no error (for example, for the status codes SC_OK or SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY). If there is an error, and the caller wishes to invoke an error-page defined in the web application, the sendError method should be used instead.

        The container clears the buffer and sets the Location header, preserving cookies and other headers.

        Parameters:
        sc - the status code

        sendError(int, java.lang.String)
      • getCharacterEncoding

        String getCharacterEncoding()
        Returns the name of the character encoding (MIME charset) used for the body sent in this response. The character encoding may have been specified explicitly using the setContentType(java.lang.String) method, or implicitly using the setLocale(java.util.Locale) method. Explicit specifications take precedence over implicit specifications. Calls made to these methods after getWriter has been called or after the response has been committed have no effect on the character encoding. If no character encoding has been specified, ISO-8859-1 is returned.

        See RFC 2047 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt) for more information about character encoding and MIME.

        Returns:
        a String specifying the name of the character encoding, for example, UTF-8
      • getContentType

        String getContentType()
        Returns the content type used for the MIME body sent in this response. The content type proper must have been specified using setContentType(java.lang.String) before the response is committed. If no content type has been specified, this method returns null. If a content type has been specified and a character encoding has been explicitly or implicitly specified as described in getCharacterEncoding(), the charset parameter is included in the string returned. If no character encoding has been specified, the charset parameter is omitted.
        Returns:
        a String specifying the content type, for example, text/html; charset=UTF-8, or null

      • getOutputStream

        OutputStream getOutputStream()
                              throws IOException
        Returns a OutputStream suitable for writing binary data in the response. The servlet container does not encode the binary data.

        Calling flush() on the OutputStream commits the response. Either this method or getWriter() may be called to write the body, not both.

        Returns:
        a OutputStream for writing binary data
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the getWriter method has been called on this response
        IOException - if an input or output exception occurred
        See Also:
        getWriter()
      • getWriter

        PrintWriter getWriter()
                       throws IOException
        Returns a PrintWriter object that can send character text to the client. The PrintWriter uses the character encoding returned by getCharacterEncoding(). If the response's character encoding has not been specified as described in getCharacterEncoding (i.e., the method just returns the default value ISO-8859-1), getWriter updates it to ISO-8859-1.

        Calling flush() on the PrintWriter commits the response.

        Either this method or getOutputStream() may be called to write the body, not both.

        Returns:
        a PrintWriter object that can return character data to the client
        Throws:
        UnsupportedEncodingException - if the character encoding returned by getCharacterEncoding cannot be used
        IllegalStateException - if the getOutputStream method has already been called for this response object
        IOException - if an input or output exception occurred
        See Also:
        getOutputStream()
      • setContentLength

        void setContentLength​(int len)
        Sets the length of the content body in the response In HTTP servlets, this method sets the HTTP Content-Length header.
        Parameters:
        len - an integer specifying the length of the content being returned to the client; sets the Content-Length header
      • setContentType

        void setContentType​(String type)
        Sets the content type of the response being sent to the client, if the response has not been committed yet. The given content type may include a character encoding specification, for example, text/html;charset=UTF-8. The response's character encoding is only set from the given content type if this method is called before getWriter is called.

        This method may be called repeatedly to change content type and character encoding. This method has no effect if called after the response has been committed. It does not set the response's character encoding if it is called after getWriter has been called or after the response has been committed.

        Containers must communicate the content type and the character encoding used for the servlet response's writer to the client if the protocol provides a way for doing so. In the case of HTTP, the Content-Type header is used.

        Parameters:
        type - a String specifying the MIME type of the content
        See Also:
        setLocale(java.util.Locale), getOutputStream(), getWriter()
      • setBufferSize

        void setBufferSize​(int size)
        Sets the preferred buffer size for the body of the response. The servlet container will use a buffer at least as large as the size requested. The actual buffer size used can be found using getBufferSize.

        A larger buffer allows more content to be written before anything is actually sent, thus providing the servlet with more time to set appropriate status codes and headers. A smaller buffer decreases server memory load and allows the client to start receiving data more quickly.

        This method must be called before any response body content is written; if content has been written or the response object has been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

        Parameters:
        size - the preferred buffer size
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if this method is called after content has been written
        See Also:
        getBufferSize(), flushBuffer(), isCommitted(), reset()
      • resetBuffer

        void resetBuffer()
        Clears the content of the underlying buffer in the response without clearing headers or status code. If the response has been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException.
        See Also:
        setBufferSize(int), getBufferSize(), isCommitted(), reset()
      • isCommitted

        boolean isCommitted()
        Returns a boolean indicating if the response has been committed. A committed response has already had its status code and headers written.
        Returns:
        a boolean indicating if the response has been committed
        See Also:
        setBufferSize(int), getBufferSize(), flushBuffer(), reset()
      • setLocale

        void setLocale​(Locale loc)
        Sets the locale of the response, if the response has not been committed yet. It also sets the response's character encoding appropriately for the locale, if the character encoding has not been explicitly set using setContentType(java.lang.String), getWriter hasn't been called yet, and the response hasn't been committed yet. If the deployment descriptor contains a locale-encoding-mapping-list element, and that element provides a mapping for the given locale, that mapping is used. Otherwise, the mapping from locale to character encoding is container dependent.

        This method may be called repeatedly to change locale and character encoding. The method has no effect if called after the response has been committed. It does not set the response's character encoding if it is called after setContentType(java.lang.String) has been called with a charset specification, after getWriter has been called, or after the response has been committed.

        Containers must communicate the locale and the character encoding used for the servlet response's writer to the client if the protocol provides a way for doing so. In the case of HTTP, the locale is communicated via the Content-Language header, the character encoding as part of the Content-Type header for text media types. Note that the character encoding cannot be communicated via HTTP headers if the servlet does not specify a content type; however, it is still used to encode text written via the servlet response's writer.

        Parameters:
        loc - the locale of the response
        See Also:
        getLocale(), setContentType(java.lang.String)
      • getLocale

        Locale getLocale()
        Returns the locale specified for this response using the setLocale(java.util.Locale) method. Calls made to setLocale after the response is committed have no effect. If no locale has been specified, the container's default locale is returned.
        Returns:
        the locale
        See Also:
        setLocale(java.util.Locale)
