/**
 * Defines an object to assist a servlet in sending a response to the client. The servlet container creates a
 * <code>ServletResponse</code> object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's <code>service</code> method.
 *
 * <p>
 * To send binary data in a MIME body response, use the {@link ServletOutputStream} returned by
 * {@link #getOutputStream}. To send character data, use the <code>PrintWriter</code> object returned by
 * {@link #getWriter}. To mix binary and text data, for example, to create a multipart response, use a
 * <code>ServletOutputStream</code> and manage the character sections manually.
 *
 * <p>
 * The charset for the MIME body response can be specified explicitly using any of the following techniques: per
 * request, per web-app (using {@link ServletContext#setRequestCharacterEncoding}, deployment descriptor), and per
 * container (for all web applications deployed in that container, using vendor specific configuration). If multiple of
 * the preceding techniques have been employed, the priority is the order listed. For per request, the charset for the
 * response can be specified explicitly using the {@link #setCharacterEncoding(String)},
 * {@link #setCharacterEncoding(Charset)} and {@link #setContentType} methods, or implicitly using the
 * {@link #setLocale} method. Explicit specifications take precedence over implicit specifications. If no charset is
 * explicitly specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used. The <code>setCharacterEncoding</code>, <code>setContentType</code>, or
 * <code>setLocale</code> method must be called before <code>getWriter</code> and before committing the response for the
 * character encoding to be used.
 *
 * <p>
 * See the Internet RFCs such as <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt"> RFC 2045</a> for more information on
 * MIME. Protocols such as SMTP and HTTP define profiles of MIME, and those standards are still evolving.
