javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.sendError() nullyfies any addHeader()

[Joerg Mueller-Tolk]

My question is about javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse

The "setStatus(int, String)" is deprecated and "sendError(int,
String)" should be used instead.
But if I do so any calls to "response.addHeader(String, String)" have
no effect.

Is there a way without deprecated methods to have both:
- private header tags, and
- private status string?

Any hints welcome

I am using tomcat 4.1 and I use response.setHeader(); and
response.sendError(); with no problems

note that you must do the setHeader before the sendError

excellent!
It was just a question of call order.
