/**
* The ResourceResponse defines an object to assist a portlet
* for rendering a resource.
*
* The difference between the RenderResponse is that for the
* ResourceResponse the output of this response is delivered
* directly to the client without any additional markup added by the portal.
* It is therefore allowed for the portlet to return binary content in this
* response.
*
* A portlet can set HTTP headers for the response via the setProperty or
* addProperty call in the ResourceResponse.
* To be successfully transmitted back to the client, headers must be set
* before the response is committed. Headers set after the response is
* committed will be ignored by the portlet container.
*
* The portlet container creates a ResourceResponse object and
* passes it as argument to the portlet's serveResource method.
*
* @see ResourceServingPortlet
* @see MimeResponse
