It is handled directly by the browser. What shows is the URL to which the
*request* was sent -- it does not come from the response. The browser has no idea
that your dispatcher servlet forwarded the request somewhere else.

What I normally do is to run inside a custom window that has no location bar, or I
use frames, even if I don't otherwise need them (in that case, the app runs in one
very large frame, and there's a small hidden frame that isn't used). That way, the
URL of the app itself (i.e. the page containing the frameset) is the only thing
that shows in the location bar.
Beyond that, it's appropriate to educate users that web *applications* are not the
same as web *sites* -- so concepts like bookmarking and returning to a particular
page within the app are not really useful.
