Hi. As far, as I know these are the same functions. In older versions
of Servlet API
there was only
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("somefile.
jsp").forward(request,response);
the second possibility was added later. I suppose that the first one
wasn't removed to
keep compatibility with code written in earlier versions of Servlet
API specification.
regards
Michal
