Dear Brad Miley,
When a Servlet or a JSP resource chooses to redirect the client using
response.sendRedirect(url), the request object does not reach the second
resource directly since the underlying implementation is an HTTP redirect.
The server sends an HTTP 302 messages back to the client telling it that the
resource has been moved to another url and that the client should access it
there.
In forward mechanism, the request object is forwarded to the second
resource, thus maintaining any object binding to the request and its state,
without a round trip to the client on the network.
Hope I answered your question.
Regards,
Hiren
