header() equivalent method?

A related issue, also in my wiki project is, that we would like to "forward"
a user to a site, based on the result of a method call. If the method
returns true, the user should be forwarded to a dynamically generated site.
If the method returns false, a static error message should come up.

Again, I know how to do this in PHP, by sending header() data, but in Java
this is still a bit of a mystery to me.

Thanks a lot!

Client-side forwarding is done via ServletResponse.forward(). This
sets the required headers. Note that this must be done before you do
any writing to the body.
