Synopsis

Variable Name:	response
Interface Name:	javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
Extends:	javax.servlet.ServletResponse

Description

The response variable is assigned a reference to an internal container-dependent class that implements a protocol-dependent interface extending the javax.servlet.ServletResponse. Since HTTP is the only protocol supported by JSP 1.1, the class always implements the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse interface. The method descriptions in this section include all methods from both interfaces.
