I am under the impression the sequence of calls described above does not apply to trans.response().sendRedirect(url). After calling trans.response().redirect(url) in a.awake(); a.respond(), and a.sleep() will run before b.awake(), b.respond(), and b.sleep(). Any output from "a" after calling redirect will be thrown away. The main difference between forward() and sendRedirect() is the browser's url will be updated with sendRedirect(). Is this correct? The new method Page.sendRedirectAndEnd(url) described in the RelNotes-0.8 document is probably more useful and less confusing than either sendRedirect() or forward() and probably deserves a mention in the User's Guide.
