you can ActionForward class to pass in your path and a boolean value for redirect to tell the class to perform a RequestDistcher.forward() or HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect(). The default is forward so set the redirect flag to True will do sendRedirect().
or you can use its direct known subclasses, ForwardingActionForward or RedirectingActionForward.
Hopefully, this will help. Thanks.
