title: Redirect or forward
body: <p>Looking through some legacy code I have in front of me using struts one, I see:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;global-forwards&gt;
       ...
       &lt;forward name="accessDenied" path="/www/jsp/AccessDeniedForm.do" redirect="true" /&gt;
  &lt;/global-forwards&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So it's just a global forward to send to a access denied page.
  I am curious about the decision to redirect as opposed to forward. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using it?</p>
