Depends on the servlet engine. But usually, I guess, it will hang. Anyway,
after forward() returns you shouldn't anything anymore, but simply return. This
is safe:
RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/someuri");
if (rd != null) {
rd.forward(req, res);
return;
}
// not found
res.sendError(404);
return;
