# SRU::Response(3pm)

A factory for creating SRU response objects

## NAME

SRU::Response - A factory for creating SRU response objects

## SYNOPSIS

```
    my $request = SRU::Request->newFromURI( $uri );
    my $response = SRU::Response->newFromRequest( $request );
```

## DESCRIPTION

SRU::Response provides a mechanism for creating the appropriate response object based on a request that is passed in. For example, if you pass in a SRU::Request::Scan object you'll get back a SRU::Response::Scan object with some of the particulars filled in.

## METHODS

### newFromRequest()

The factory method which you must pass in a valid request object: SRU::Request::Explain, SRU::Request::Scan or SRU::Request::SearchRetrieve. If you fail to pass in the correct object you will be returned undef,  with an appropriate error stored in `$SRU::Error`.

## INHERITED METHODS

SRU::Resonse also serves as the base class for the three response types, and thus provides some general functionality to the child classes.

### type()

Returns 'searchRetrieve', 'scan' or 'explain' depending on what type of object it is.

### addDiagnostic()

### diagnosticsXML()

### stylesheetXML()
