I admit, it's pretty hard when people don't spell words correctly.

But if you search on this forum for "forward redirect" you will find *numerous* other posts on this topic.

The search link is right under the "Post Reply" button at the top of this page.

In case of forward the request and current response object will forward to the next page.in case of sendRedirect currenct request object will not be available.
