Servlet Redirect HTTP Request Example
In this example we will redirect an HTTP Request from one servlet to another servlet. The sendRedirect() method of the HttpServletResponse sends a temporary redirect response to the client. This redirect sets the status code to 302 – Temporary redirect. If the response already has been committed, this method throws an IllegalStateException indicating that the response has already been written for that request.
