I'm used to working with ASP, which offers the response.redirect function. One thing I'm running into with the jsp:forward's is that the page I'm forwarding to usually ends up being the result of a POST operation (because I'm forwarding from a page that does a database update). Unfortunately, this means that a refresh means a repost of the data. To effect the same thing I guess I would use a refresh tag? How do you guys handle this? Initially I'd really liked the idea of not having a round-trip b/w the client and server, but it looks like that's almost necessary to avoid this problem. Thoughts or ideas?

Subject: Syntax for <jsp:forward>
Hi, everyone!
Shouldn't the following two pieces of code mean the same thing?
<jsp:forward page="otherpage.jsp"/>
<jsp:forward page="otherpage.jsp">
</jsp:forward>
well, when trying to compile the second one, I get
"unterminated <jsp:forward tag
???
Vlad.
