The second page should not display anything. It should not forward to the required resource. Idealy it would be a servlet, but it should just process the user details then use a request.sendRedirect to redirect to the desited page.
The difference is that it 'disconnects' the two pages. HTTP is based on a request and a response. In your case, the request contains the user details, and the response is the display page. If you want to reload the display page, you end up sending the authentication details and logging in again!
Send redirect uses a HTTP 'this is not the page you are looking for' trick. You send a request containing the authentication details to the login servlet (try not to think of it as a 'page'). The login servlet says "I've processed this, but I'm not prepared to respond."
It sends a message back to the browser to look to the display page. The URL in the browser changes to this new page and a new request is sent. The server then responds with the display page.
The advantage here is that if they reload the display page, the request is sent to the display page and not the login servlet.
This wasn't quite what you asked, but I hope it answers your question anyway.
