There is a discussion on 'forward' in this thread
Short answer: forward works on the server side. The client (ie the browser) knows nothing about t and can't react to it.
DOM

by using
response.sendRedirect("xyz.jsp");
parameters are not getting passed from abc.jsp to xyz.jsp
i need parameters from abc.jsp in xyz.jsp

First I'd suggest playing with forward, since the JSPs share the request and response objects and you can use them to communicate.
If you absolutely need to use sendRedirect (because it is inefficient), you can either put the data on the session (not recommended) or add it to the URL (not recommended for sensitive data)
res.sendRedirect("xyz.jsp?name=Dave");

If you want to forward the entire request, which include the parameters, from one page to another page, then use the RequestDispatcher class.
On your JSP, execute the following code to send the client to the page of your choice, and let's use "/xyz.jsp" as an example for the page that we will forward the client.
request.getRequestDispatcher("/xyz.jsp).forward( request, response);
That's all you have to do. The request and response objects will be forwarded to the new URI, namely "/xyz.jsp"
