Hi all,

I know this is not perfectly the right list for my topic, but before 
subscribing to another for just one question... forgive me if I'm going 
to be boring. Even more, because my question is rather philosophical.

If you consider JSPs, there is a tag called <jsp:forward page="..." />. 
My question is: how do I have to understand 'forward'? The java 
documentation isn't that verbose, and I can imagine two possible meanings:
1. Forwarding is some sort of an internal redirect to the servlet engine 
which the browser will not be informed of.  From this point of view 
forwarding will be nearly the same as a dynamic include.
2. Forwarding is the same as a redirect.

Maybe a superfluous question for some of you, for me it isn't actually. 
So, if anyone knows an answer - or knows the number of the RFC I'll find 
the information: you're welcome!

Thanx a lot in advance
Martin
