Servlet Controller Dispatcher

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
        HttpServletResponse response) 
         throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = null;
        String param = request.getParameter("go");

Servlet Forwarding Dispatch

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
   
  public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, ServletException
  {
     ServletContext context = getServletContext();
     RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher("/myServlet");
     dispatcher.forward(req,res);
  }
}
