[Jersey] Re: Response redirect/forward

Why would you want to do that?

And to answer - no, JAX-RS does not have anything like "forward", BUT
you can easily implement it. You can call another service (using jersey
client for example) and return its result as a response to your original
request, so "browser" (original client) would NOT be aware of internal
forward.

I have to mention that returning "seeOther" (http status 303 or maybe
301) would be my preferred solution.

Pavel
