Try adding a "return; " after the forward.
I had several similar JSP problems in the past, and I solved them by adding
return's after all my forward() or sendRedirect()
If I'm not mistaken, forward() or sendRedirect() calls are method calls ->
when they return, the code remaining in the servlet is executed.
Since the Servlet compiler will complain about the "return" in your line
just try:
<% if (true){
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/html/authhome.html").forward(request,response);
return; }%>
