Why use redirect="true"

[Tahir Akram]

Hi;

Why should we use redirect="true", if I remove this tag my action forwarding works fine.
So why we specifically need this? Can some one educate me on this.

<action input="/serv/infoerror.jsp" name="LoginForm" path="/Login" type="com.tahir.security.LoginAction">
			<forward name="chsuccess" path="/cardholderhome.do" redirect="true" />
</action>

Thanks in advance.

it is nothing but response.sendRedirect("url") [making new request to the browser]. you better watch the address bar(url) of the browser for both cases.

Hope this helps
