javax.servlet.http
Interface HttpServletResponse

All Superinterfaces:
ServletResponse
All Known Implementing Classes:
HttpServletResponseWrapper

public interface HttpServletResponse
extends ServletResponse

Extends the ServletResponse interface to provide HTTP-specific functionality in sending a response. For example, it has methods to access HTTP headers and cookies.

The servlet container creates an HttpServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service methods (doGet, doPost, etc).

Method Detail

addCookie

void addCookie(Cookie cookie)
Adds the specified cookie to the response. This method can be called multiple times to set more than one cookie.

Parameters:
cookie - the Cookie to return to the client

containsHeader

boolean containsHeader(java.lang.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

encodeURL

java.lang.String encodeURL(java.lang.String url)
Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. For example, if the browser supports cookies, or session tracking is turned off, URL encoding is unnecessary.

For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.

Parameters:
url - the url to be encoded.
Returns:
the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise.

encodeRedirectURL

java.lang.String encodeRedirectURL(java.lang.String url)
Encodes the specified URL for use in the sendRedirect method or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. Because the rules for making this determination can differ from those used to decide whether to encode a normal link, this method is separated from the encodeURL method.

All URLs sent to the HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect method should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.

Parameters:
url - the url to be encoded.
Returns:
the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise.
See Also:
sendRedirect(java.lang.String), encodeUrl(java.lang.String)

encodeUrl

java.lang.String encodeUrl(java.lang.String url)
Deprecated. As of version 2.1, use encodeURL(String url) instead

Parameters:
url - the url to be encoded.
Returns:
the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise.

encodeRedirectUrl

java.lang.String encodeRedirectUrl(java.lang.String url)
Deprecated. As of version 2.1, use encodeRedirectURL(String url) instead

Parameters:
url - the url to be encoded.
Returns:
the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise.

sendError

void sendError(int sc,
               java.lang.String msg)
               throws java.io.IOException
Sends an error response to the client using the specified status and clears the 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". The server will preserve cookies and may clear or update any headers needed to serve the error page as a valid response. 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 and the msg parameter will be ignored.

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:
java.io.IOException - If an input or output exception occurs
IllegalStateException - If the response was committed

sendError

void sendError(int sc)
               throws java.io.IOException
Sends an error response to the client using the specified status code and clears the buffer. The server will preserve cookies and may clear or update any headers needed to serve the error page as a valid response. If an error-page declaration has been made for the web application corresponding to the status code passed in, it will be served back the error page

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
Throws:
java.io.IOException - If an input or output exception occurs
IllegalStateException - If the response was committed before this method call

sendRedirect

void sendRedirect(java.lang.String location)
                  throws java.io.IOException
Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL and clears the buffer. The buffer will be replaced with the data set by this method. Calling this method sets the status code to SC_FOUND 302 (Found). 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:
java.io.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(java.lang.String name,
                   long date)
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:
containsHeader(java.lang.String), addDateHeader(java.lang.String, long)

Adds a response header with the given name and date-value. The date is specified in terms of milliseconds since the epoch. This method allows response headers to have multiple values.

Parameters:
name - the name of the header to set
date - the additional date value
See Also:
setDateHeader(java.lang.String, long)

setHeader

void setHeader(java.lang.String name,
               java.lang.String value)
Sets a response header with the given name and 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 header value If it contains octet string, it should be encoded according to RFC 2047 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt)

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 SC_OK or SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY status codes).

If this method is used to set an error code, then the container's error page mechanism will not be triggered. If there is an error and the caller wishes to invoke an error page defined in the web application, then sendError(int, java.lang.String) must be used instead.

This method preserves any cookies and other response headers.

Valid status codes are those in the 2XX, 3XX, 4XX, and 5XX ranges. Other status codes are treated as container specific.
