Can HttpServletRequest.forward() work across different tomcat instances?

[Sriram Kuna <sr...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

We have many Tomcat instances, each running on a different machine (they are
controlled by a load balancer). In this case, can a tomcat instance do
HttpServlet.forward() to some other tomcat instance? Please clarify.

Regards

A request cannot be forwarded in this manner. A request is forwarded
only to another Servlet/JSP on the same web app context. This is
within the web app instance on that specific Tomcat instance.
