response.sendRedirect() is sent to the browser after loading is complete,
forward continues execution on the new page directly.
I suppose this is expected behaviour. Why would a code stop executing just
because of a method call? response.sendRedirect(...) whould be something
like Browser.setNextPage(...); and that method call would not cause this
function not to complete.
I'm sorry for sounding like a monday morning programmer who haven't even got
his first cup of coffee yet. Even though it is thursday...
P.S.
Moving the return statement is the only way to stop execution.
D.S.
