Hi,
I am curious, using JSP and all..is it better to FORWARD to another page, or
use the response.sendRedirect(). I notice a strange side effect in using the
forward in that the URL of the browser no longer reflects the page returned
when using forward. Doesn't seem to be a big deal to me, and I now its
faster to return a page, then round-robin to the browser and back again. Is
there any way to maybe update the URL of the browser to show the new page?
Or is this the norm when forwarding? I was curious how Model 2 JSP
developers handle this situation, as they probably forward to a page rather
than redirect.
Am I correct in that forwarding is a performance enhancement because it
saves the client from hitting the server twice? Also, could this be the
reason Netscape sends TWO forms (submits) often, rather than one..or is that
a Netscape bug others have seen? Odd that When people submit a form with
MSIE, its fine, but Netscape seems to submit the form twice.
Thanks.
