/**
 * 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 with 
 * {@link #setContentType}.  For example, "text/html; charset=Shift_JIS".
 * The charset can alternately be set using {@link #setLocale}.
 * If no charset is specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used.  
 * The <code>setContentType</code> or <code>setLocale</code> method 
 * must be called before <code>getWriter</code> for the charset to 
 * affect the construction of the writer.
 * 
 * <p>See the Internet RFCs such as 
 * <a href="http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/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.
