redirect – it uses a browser redirect. It sends an http response with code 3xx (see wikipedia), and then the browser makes another request to the new page
forward – forward is internal for the servlet container. The browser never understands that the page has changed. Hence the URL doesn’t change (like with redirect), and you have the same request in the new page as well.
