Using RequestDispatcher.forward() and changing browser URL

I'm using RequestDispatcher.forward() in one servlet to forward a request to 
another servlet (or JSP page).  I would like the URL for the forwarded 
servlet or JSP page to show up in the client's browser rather than the 
original request URL.  Is this possible and how can it be accomplished?  
I've tried "Location" and "Content-Location" without any luck...

Sincerely,
Kevin Regan

you could do a RequestDispatcher.sendRedirect instead
