RE: What is the difference between forward tag and sendRedirect() ?
 
A sendRedirect() instructs the browser to reload a different page. So the browser ends up making two calls to get a page. 
A forward() acts on server-side and makes the browser wait while the server internally hands of processing of the request to some other Servlet. That new servlet will respond directly.
