Send a Response Status in servlet
This section illustrates you how to send response status in servlet.
All Response status is defined in HttpServletResponse Class. You can
then use constants (response.SC_OK,response.SC_NOT_FOUND
etc..) values to return process status to the browser. In the given
example, two methods are defined doGet(), doPost. Constants value request
and response are used to return status to browser. The setContentType()
method of ServletResponse set the content type of response.
Here the Servlet requests for page name loginForm. So if the request not found,
it will show error Not found. Otherwise, it will show OK.
Here is the code of SetResponseStatus.java
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
public class SetResponseStatus extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doPost(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
String page = request.getParameter("page");
if (page != null && page.equals("loginForm")) {
response.setStatus(response.SC_OK);
} else {
response.sendError(response.SC_NOT_FOUND, "The requested page ["
+ page + "] not found.");
}
}
}

Above example shows how a response has been send from the servlet. If the
requested page (loginForm) is not found Output
will be displayed like this:
