forward will forward the request without saving the client information where as sendRedirect will save the previous information and send to another requested page.

forward will forward the request and response to the next page within the same context .

sendredirect will forward the request and response to the page in another application. But the previous req and res will die.

The forward operation happens in the same request itself. Once if you forward a request, you cannot add any more response content after the forward command. Becuase, the servlet ignores the remaining things and forwards the request to another servlet.

The send redirect is the one, which redirects you to some other servlet or page. The redirection is not within the same request, but it is a new request. Using send redirect, you can access a page available on another context / server.
