That is what you should expect to see. The forwarding happens on the server side,
without any knowledge on the part of the client browser.

Rather than embedding JavaScript code for this test, which doesn't get evaluated
until the page is displayed on the browser, you could also pass beans as request
attributes, or use special query parameters in the <jsp:forward> element, to
identify where you came from to get here. That way, the custom evaluation could
happen on the server side instead, as the second page is being rendered.
