pagecontext.setforwardurl in oaf

pagecontext.setforwardurl in oaf

If we want to move from One OAF Page to Another Page the we can use this setforwardurl method to move from current page to another. In the Setforwardurl servlet container forwards all request to the target page. In the setforwardurl method our Current url does not change. This method accepts many parameters to call another oaf page. The good part of this method is this just passes the request from one to another so it means this does not immediately move the control from current page to another page. Using this Method our rest of the code still executes in the controller. After executing all the code in the controller then it passes the request to move to another page.
