Question from Anand Chawla's Mock Exam

[SRV Gopal]

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out on this one?
Which of the following are true wrt sendRedirect method of HttpServletResponse?
A. Sets the Location Header
B. Path can be only relative
C. To support clients w/o redirect capability, method writes a short response body that contains a hyperlink to the new location
D. Must be called after response is committed else throws IllegalStateException
Select any two.

Thanks in advance.

[Linda Xu]

The answer should be A and B.
C is unnecessary. D is exactly the wrong answer, redirect should happen BEFORE the response is committed

Hi Linda,
I think the answer should be A and C.
B is incorrect the path can be absolute and relative
C is correct, when the browser w/o redirect capability, method writes a short response body that contains a hyperlink to the new location.
Best Regards,
Roy

I agreed with Roy, A and C r correct.
A path may or may not be relative.
