BBjspWebResponse::setHeader (Deprecated)

The BBJSP system is deprecated. For new development, use BBxServlet.

Description

In BBj 16.0 and higher, this method sets a response header with the given name and value. If the header had already been set, the new value overwrites the previous one. The containsHeader method can be used to test for the presence of a header before setting its value.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
void	setHeader(string name, string value)

Parameters

Variable	Description
name	the name of the header
value	the header value If it contains octet string, it should be encoded according to RFC 2047 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt)

Return Value

None.

Remarks

The example below shows setting a header within a BBJSP Servlet.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<%
    #getResponse().setHeader("MyHeader","Something")
%>
<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>
        <p>Header 'MyHeader' was set to 'Something'</p>
    </body>
</html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!

  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)

    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response!.setHeader("MyHeader","Something")
    s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")
    s!.write("</body></html>")
