Another possible solution is to do request.sendRedirect. This sends a
message back to the browser to go to the new page, and then the browser
will request the new page. This is obviously much slower however, because
it involves two extra trips between sever and client.

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.
