Servlet response write vs print? Which is better?

Question

I am having a string which needs to be sent as response from a servlet & I am having two approaches to send response back from it.

First is using PrintWriter.

Answer 1

I am having a string specifies that you wish to write a string so i suggest the PrintWriter object

 //prints text data to screen (browser)
 PrintWriter printer = response.getWriter();
 printer.print(string);
 //print again if you wish
 printer.print("Welcome blahblah");
 //close afterwards if you don't mind.
 printer.close();

so if you wish to write text to browser, PrintWriter works just fine, fast and simple.

Answer 2

Use an OutputStream for binary data, and a Writer for text.
