setContentType() setContentType()- provides the definition of an object to assist a servlet in sending a response to the client. The container of the servlet creates a ServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service method. ServletOutputStream is used to send the binary data in a MIME body response and it is returned by getOutputStream(). PrintWriter is used to send the character data and it is being returned by getWriter() method. The character set for the MIME body response can be specified explicitly using the setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String) and setContentType(java.lang.String) methods, or implicitly using the setLocale(java.util.Locale) method. Explicit specifications have higher prcedence over implicity specifications. Rohit Sharma 11-27-2014 03:53 PM
