<h4>forward</h4>
<pre>void&nbsp;forward(<a href="../../javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html" title="interface in javax.servlet">ServletRequest</a>&nbsp;request,
<a href="../../javax/servlet/ServletResponse.html" title="interface in javax.servlet">ServletResponse</a>&nbsp;response)
throws <a href="../../javax/servlet/ServletException.html" title="class in javax.servlet">ServletException</a>,
java.io.IOException</pre>
<div class="block">Forwards a request from
a servlet to another resource (servlet, JSP file, or
HTML file) on the server. This method allows
one servlet to do preliminary processing of
a request and another resource to generate
the response.
<p>For a <code>RequestDispatcher</code> obtained via
<code>getRequestDispatcher()</code>, the <code>ServletRequest</code>
object has its path elements and parameters adjusted to match
the path of the target resource.
<p><code>forward</code> should be called before the response has been
committed to the client (before response body output has been flushed).
If the response already has been committed, this method throws
an <code>IllegalStateException</code>.
Uncommitted output in the response buffer is automatically cleared
before the forward.
<p>The request and response parameters must be either the same
objects as were passed to the calling servlet's service method or be
subclasses of the <a href="../../javax/servlet/ServletRequestWrapper.html" title="class in javax.servlet"><code>ServletRequestWrapper</code></a> or
<a href="../../javax/servlet/ServletResponseWrapper.html" title="class in javax.servlet"><code>ServletResponseWrapper</code></a> classes
that wrap them.

<code>DispatcherType.FORWARD</code>.</div>
