JavaServer Pages, Second Edition

Name

response

Synopsis

The response variable is assigned a reference to an internal container-dependent class that implements a protocol-dependent interface that extends the javax.servlet.ServletResponse. Since HTTP is the only protocol support by JSP 1.2, the class always implements the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse interface. The method descriptions in this section include all methods from both interfaces.
