Control does go back to the browser. The sendRedirect() call returns an
HTTP status code (SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY), along with the location you specify,
back to the browser. The browser sees this, and automatically issues a second
request to the new location.
If you want things to be done only on the server side (improved performance
due to avoiding the extra round trip), check out RequestDispatcher.forward().
