who create HTTPResponse object for a servlet

From Java docs HttpServletResponse

The servlet container creates an HttpServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service methods (doGet, doPost, etc). 

public interface HttpServletResponse
                     extends ServletResponse

Extends the ServletResponse interface to provide HTTP-specific functionality in sending a response. For example, it has methods to access HTTP headers and cookies. 

public interface ServletResponse

Defines an object to assist a servlet in sending a response to the client. The servlet container creates a ServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service method.

Servlet is created either when URL is initiated or when your server(servlet container) starts. The servlet container creates an HttpServletResponse object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service methods.
