You can forward to any servlet or JSP resource that is accessible through
a RequestDispatcher.forward() call. Basically, that means you just need
to specify a context-relative (module-relative in 1.1, unless you say
contextRelative="true") path that starts with a slash, and make sure you
have a coresponding servlet mapping.
Forwarding to a static resource works in *most* containers (it certainly
does in Tomcat), but isn't required to be supported by the spec -- you
might need to write a trivially simple servlet that just copies the static
resource out to the response.
