Note that internal resources are forwarded to, not redirected to. Tapestry uses RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) for internal resources (this is the same way an ordinary servlet would forward to a JSP to render a response).

The only downside of this is that the URL for this "page" is complex, typically something like:

http://localhost[:8080]/tutorial/workbench/direct/Redirect/internal

This makes it awkward to create relative paths (at least in static HTML). This is less of an issue in a JSP, since it can write a dynamic <base> tag (the same way Tapestry does) to allow easy relative paths.

You may return to the Workbench.
