doubt in request dispatcher forward

[Srividhya Kiran]

From enthuware


forward() method of RequestDispatcher object: In this case, the same request is transferred to another resource and it is transparent to the browser. But the resource should be a part of the same web application.

What does transparent to the browser mean here?
