What is the difference between sendRedirect() and forward()? in what situations do we have to use s..

Answer / fateh

the main difference is that forward() do not save the
information while sending to the client but on the other
hand sendRedirect() saves the information while redirecting
to the other page.

Basically, sendRedirect() is used to redirect ot the error
page and forward() is a request dispatcher method to forward
request to the new page. So, if we are talking in this
context sendRedirect() is faster than forward(). According
to he above mentioned concept, forward() is faster than
sendRedirect() but if we are using sendRedirect() to send to
the error page it is faster.
