What is the difference betweeen JSP forward and servlet forward methods?

Nothing is there in my views.....

Because Jsp internally converted as Servlet ,So there is no different between Jsp Forward and Servlet Forward.

If there is any than is plx send to me at srinivas.annapareddy@gmail.com

Srinivas, You are absolutely right. Since any JSP gets converted into an internal servlet at runtime before serving any request so it would act as if it was a servlet.

JSP forward forwards the control to another resource available in the same web application on the same container..where as Servlet forward forwards the control to another resource available in the same web application or different web app on the same container....

Sorry to say durga!!

But the difference u stated is wrong.

response.sendRedirect(String URL) is the method used with intra-web app communication which do-not preserve the request and response objects.

where as both forward action of jsp and servlet's forward methods presere the request and response objects.

the only difference in my opinion is we cannot use JSP's forward action in servlet where as we can use the servlet's forward in JSP

Thanks and regards

Hi Friends

Some friends think there is no difference b/w jsp forward and servlet forward.

But there is difference b/w them ,that is By using jsp forward we can't forward

to another jsp page in another web application or in another web container.

but in case of servlet forward we can do it. if there is any questins on j2se,jdbc,servlets,jsp,jndi,java mail api,java bean , plz send that to my mail

A jsp forward can directly forward to any jsp,servlet,etc., by merely specifying the target's relative path. A servlet forward needs a response object(javax.servlet.ServletResponse) to forward the request and any modifications made. Both are otherwise very similiar. Both are executed by the application container and no code written after either will be executed.

ur statement that jsp:forward action cannot be forwarded to a servlet is wrong becoz it is possible by using the url-pattern we r using for that servlet.

well folks,i have heard about jsp forward but what is servlet forward........shouldn't it be RequestDispatcher forward.................

Hi Guys,

There is no difference between jsp and servlet forward. both use request dispatcher. Jsp turns in to servlet and jsp:forward internally converted into the rd.forward(request, respone)

Hi,

   there is no difference b/w jsp forward and servlet forward

Hi guys!

In my point of view, both are very similar . there is no difference between them
