 package javax.servlet.http;
 
Extends the javax.servlet.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 HttpServletRequest object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service methods (doGet, doPost, etc).

Author(s):
Various
Version:
$Version$
See also:
javax.servlet.ServletResponse
 
 
 
 
 public interface HttpServletResponse extends ServletResponse {

    
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
 
 
     public void addCookie(Cookie cookie);

    
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
    public boolean containsHeader(String name);

    
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.
    public String encodeURL(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 seperate 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)
    public String encodeRedirectURL(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.
    public String encodeUrl(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.
    public String encodeRedirectUrl(String url);

    
Sends an error response to the client using the specified status code and descriptive message. The server generally creates the response to look like a normal server 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
msg the descriptive message
Throws:
java.io.IOException If an input or output exception occurs
java.lang.IllegalStateException If the response was committed before this method call
    public void sendError(int scString msgthrows IOException;

    
Sends an error response to the client using the specified status. The server generally creates the response to look like a normal server 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
java.lang.IllegalStateException If the response was committed
    public void sendError(int scthrows IOException;

    
Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL. This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet container will convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response to the client.

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
java.lang.IllegalStateException If the response was committed
    public void sendRedirect(String locationthrows IOException;
    
    
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
value the assigned date value
See also:
containsHeader(java.lang.String)
addDateHeader(java.lang.String,long)
    public void setDateHeader(String namelong date);
    
    
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
value the additional date value
See also:
setDateHeader(java.lang.String,long)
    public void addDateHeader(String namelong date);
    
    
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
See also:
containsHeader(java.lang.String)
addHeader(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
    public void setHeader(String nameString 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
See also:
setHeader(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
    public void addHeader(String nameString 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)
    public void setIntHeader(String nameint 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
See also:
setIntHeader(java.lang.String,int)
    public void addIntHeader(String nameint value);


    
    
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, the sendError method should be used instead.

Parameters:
sc the status code
See also:
sendError(int)
    public void setStatus(int sc);
  
    

Deprecated:
As of version 2.1, due to ambiguous meaning of the message parameter. To set a status code use setStatus(int), to send an error with a description use sendError(int, String). Sets the status code and message for this response.
Parameters:
sc the status code
sm the status message
    public void setStatus(int scString sm);
