Name

<ora:forward>

Synopsis

The <ora:forward> action forwards the request to another web resource, exactly the same way as the standard <jsp:forward> action except that it accepts an EL expression as the page attribute and supports nested <ora:param> actions instead of <jsp:param> actions. It’s useful as a gap filler until the next JSP specification version is released; the standard forward action is then expected to support EL expressions.

Syntax 1: Without parameters

<ora:forward page="pageOrContextRelativePath" />

Syntax 2: With nested <ora:param> actions

<ora:forward page="pageOrContextRelativePath" />
  One or more <ora:param> actions
</ora:forward>
