You can very much use the same response.sendRedirect method to redirect to a resource on another web server. You can provide the absolute URL along with the protocol name like response.sendRedirect(http://www.google.com);

Using this method is pretty straight-forward. BUt there is a simple catch:
No data should be committed to the servlet output stream before the redirection occurs.
In case data has been committed and then redirection is forced, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

/* your java code  */

// first of all empty buffer to ensure
// that no data is committed to the client
response.reset();

// Now redirect to target URL
response.sendRedirect("http://www.google.com");
