ServletResponse Interface – Servlets

June 22, 2015 by javainterviewpoint Leave a Comment

The ServletResponse represents the response which is sent back to the user. The servlet container creates a ServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet’s service method.

Important Methods of ServletResponse Interface

  • public PrintWriter getWriter() : This method returns a PrintWriter object that can send character text to the client.
  • public ServletOutputStream getOutputStream() : This method returns a ServletOutputStream suitable for writing binary data in the response.
  • public String getCharacterEncoding() : This method returns the name of the MIME charset used.
  • public void setContentType(String type) : Sets the content type of the response being sent as response.
  • public int getBufferSize() : This method returns the actual buffer size used for the response. If no buffering is used, this method returns 0.
  • public void flushBuffer() : Forces any content in the buffer to be written to the client.
  • public void setLocale(Locale loc) : This method sets the locale of the response, if the response has not been committed yet.
  • public boolean isCommitted(): This method returns a boolean indicating if the response has been committed.
  • public void reset() : Clears the data of the buffer along with the headers and status code.
