correct me if i'm wrong, but in addition to incurring a round trip to the
server, you also cannot pass your request and response objects and whatever
beans they may hold if you use sendRedirect(). in order to pass on info,
you'd either have to have it in the session or put in the url. since
forward() stays at the server, you get all your request data/beans
transported to the next page for free.
