forward action tag in JSP

The jsp:forward standard action is used to terminate the execution of the current JSP page and pass the control to another resource. You can forward control either to a static resource or a dynamic resource. It may be jsp, html or servlet. The syntax for the jsp:forward action is:

<jsp:forward page="resourceRelativeURL" />

Below syntax is valid to pass parameter along with forwarding.

<jsp:forward page="resourceRelativeURL">

( <jsp:param . . . /> )*

</jsp:forward>

* indicates that there can be zero or more elements in the brackets
