No, not correct. That's the part you're missing. That's a good thing in this case because we'll save you work ;) Your servlet using sendError is fine. You would then configure an error page for this error in your web.xml using the <error-page> directive. The server will go to this error page, which can be a servlet, JSP, or static page as you wish. This error page will have a fresh response object to which you can write whatever you want. You don't need to subclass ServletOutputStream or PrintWriter. In fact it's fairly rare that you'd need to extend these for servlet applications. You can accomplish a similar thing to the above declarative error-page behavior by using response.sendRedirect in your original servlet that's now using sendError.
