public interface HttpServletResponse extends ServletResponse
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).

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.
If the URL is relative, it is always relative to the current HttpServletRequest.

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. For example, if the browser supports
cookies, or session tracking is turned off, URL encoding is
unnecessary. 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.
If the URL is relative, it is always relative to the current HttpServletRequest.

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 location is relative with two leading '/' the container interprets
it as a network-path reference (see
RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax, section 4.2
"Relative Reference").
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.

void setStatus(int sc)
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.
