Hi Craig,
With forward you don't need to pass the parameters in the URL. You can
use setAttribute(), getAttribute() to set/get "parameters" in requests
without having to add them in the URL.
And if you are not displaying anything in your processing JSP page, why
use a JSP page at all? Wouldn't a servlet do the same job? Unless you
use beans automatic form fields recognition that comes with JSP pages
but not with servlets, of course ;).
I hope this helps,
Dan
