Hi,
While I was reading some mail archives today, I stumbles stumbled over
a few postings discribing problems with webapplications referring to a
class called javax.servlet.http.NoBodyResponse and sometimes
javax.servlet.http.NoBodyOutputStream. I was curious, so I browsed
through the javadocs. The odd this is, this class in not mentioned in
any of the recent versions of the servlet api. My second guess was
that it must be a tomcat specific extension (as many postings
mentioned running tomcat), but it's not part of tomcat's javadocs,
either. Perhaps any of you guys could enighten me...
These are private support classes of the Servlet API. They're still
present, but they're file-private inner classes and thus no in the
JavaDoc (intentionally). The class name you're quoting for them is
wrong, by the way: it's javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet$NoBodyResponse
and javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet$NoBodyOutputStream. You can see them
both at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-servletapi-5/jsr154/src/share/
javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.java?rev=1.6view=markup.
Your second guess is also wrong, and I wouldn't normally mention this
but it's significant: there's nothing tomcat-specific (or specific to
any server) in the javax.servlet classes. There can't be, there won't
be, as it's a J2EE standard API. We can't even accidentally change it,
because although those classes are hosted on our CVS server, we don't
have commit privileges to them.
