request object

You do know what the response is used for? Let me elaborate.

1) a client connects and makes a request to the server

2) server handles this request by invoking a JSP or servlet

3) server generates a response, this is sent back to the client as HTTP data

4) REQUEST/RESPONSE IS CLOSED

5) client executes javascript

You see the problem? Javascript is executed by the browser after your request finishes. Not only is it run on a completely different machine that your response object lived on, but the javascript executes long after the response has already been sent and closed.
