How it runs...
The first time you request the Hello.jsp, the JSP does the conditional test, discovers there’s no value for userName, and forwards to the HandleIt.jsp. Assuming the user types a name into the name input field, the second request won’t do the forward, since the userName request parameter has a non-null value.
