As far as i know it depends on the location of the next target url.
If the next servlet url is in the same host, then you can use the forward method.
Here is an example code about using forward:
RequestDispatcher rd = null;
String targetURL = "target_servlet_name";
ServletContext ctx = this.getServletContext();
rd = ctx.getRequestDispatcher(targetURL);
rd.forward(request, response);
