How to use JSP to modify HTTP response status code?

[George2]

Hi, everyone!

Normal HTTP response status code is like this,

--------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
--------

I want to use JSP to modify the status code like this,

--------
HTTP/1.1 666 OK
--------

How to do the job?


Thanks in advance,
George

Use HttpServletResponse.sendError(...) (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.2.1/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#sendError(int,%20java.lang.String)).

Debugging is more difficult than coding. If you are as clever as you can be when coding, how can you ever hope to debug the code?

Thanks, dlorde pal!

I have tried your method, it really works, but
still do not serve my purpose entirely.

I want to modify the HTTP response code

--------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
--------

to

--------
HTTP/1.1 666 hehe
--------

I use sendError(666, "hehe"),
but "hehe" displays in the body and not in the header.

What I want to do is to send error code (666) and error
message ("hehe") through the first line of HTTP response
header.

How to do that job?


Thanks in advance,
George

I don't know, George, it's not something I've had to do. Why not try all the likely looking HttpServletResponse 'header' methods? I don't know any other way to set response header data.

Sometimes trial and error is the best way...

The key to personal success is initiative...

BTW: If you have got the answer, please notify me!
