Context Object with RequestDispatcher	Request Object With RequestDispatcher
1. Using Context object with the getRequestDispatcher() its mandatory to write url starting with " / " .	1. Using Request object with the getRequestDispatcher(), its not mandatory to use " / " before url.
2. It uses the context path of the URI.	2. It uses the context path if we write " / " before url and if we are not writing " / " then the request will be forwarded using relative path.
3. If we are not writing " / " before  url then container will throw IllegalArgumentException exception " This given path is invalid, since it doesn't start with  / " .	3. If we are not writing " / " before url then it forward the request using relative path.
4. For ex- RequestDispatcher   rd = getServletContext(). getRequestDispatcher("/url");	4. For ex- RequestDispatcher   rd = getServletContext(). getRequestDispatcher("/url");                      or RequestDispatcher   rd = getServletContext(). getRequestDispatcher("url") ;
