RequestDispatcher is used to redirect a request on the server side.
It is used in the follwing way:
getrequestdispatcher().forward() : forwards to a resource ie the control for the request and the response are with the forwarded resource.
getrequestdispatcher().include() : include the specified resource. The control still lies with the resource thet calls the include method.

sendRedirect is called for a redirection by the browsers. A status code of 302 is neede for the send redirect to work
