title: does returning from doGet() or doPost() automatically send a resonse
body: <p>I have looked around and previously asked this question but did not get a full answer. When you explicity return from doGet() or doPost() does a response get sent regardless of if you have encoded anything or not. If so what is the default code ? Is it enough to simply <code>response.setStatus()</code> and return ? If not: so I have always manually send back a response ? What is the default way to just respond not using forward or redirect ? </p>
