Differences between ServletResponse and HttpServletResponseWrapper?

I am new to servlet and reading some text about filters and wrappers. I can understand filters but got confused about wrappers. In the book, the author gives an example:

In case no wrapper:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
            FilterChain chain)
            throws IOException, ServletException {

        String name = request.getParameter("name").trim();

        try {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            if (name.length() == 0) {
                out.println("Some message");
                out.println("</body>");
                out.println("</html>");
                out.close();
            }
        } catch (Throwable t) {
        }
    }

In case of wrapper:

 public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
            FilterChain chain)
            throws IOException, ServletException {

        String name = request.getParameter("name").trim();

        HttpServletResponse httpRes = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        HttpServletResponseWrapper resWrapper = new HttpServletResponseWrapper(httpRes);
        try {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);

            PrintWriter out = resWrapper.getWriter(); // why dont we just use response.getWriter();
            if (name.length() == 0) {
                out.println("<h3>Some message");
                out.println("</body>");
                out.println("</html>");
                out.close();
            }
        } catch (Throwable t) {
        }
    }

Why we need HttpServletResponseWrapper while we can do the same thing with ServletResponse in case 1? Can anyone give me a clear example that we MUST use HttpServletResponseWrapper instead of ServletResponse? I have tried to google but found no luck.
