redirecting to another servlet with an if statement?

[cram81]

hi
i currently have a bunch of servlets that i am using for a user authentication system:

seeAccounts - gives user some questions
choosePic - lets user choose identify their picture
chooseSound - lets user identify thier sound
FinishServlet - gathers parameters and determines if all were true

Now at each stage i pass a parameter in the url to the next servlet indicating whether the previous authentication was true or not...

now when i reach my final servlet if i recieve 3 true's then the user has been successfully authenticated ....

but if i recieve a false then i want to redirect the user back to the seeAcconts servlet to give them another attempt...

now i was thinking of doing this via an if statements like this:

 if(qTest.compareTo("true")==0 && pTest.compareTo("true")==0 && sTest.compareTo(rs.getString("sound_text"))==0)
                        {
                         out.println(&quot;Congratulations You Have Completed Your Credential Recovery Successfully <BR>&quot;);
                        } else {
                               [b] //REDIRECT TO SeeAccounts  
                                   // Attempts ++[/b]
                               }        
                     }

Is this possible to do? if not is there an alternative architecture i could use for this problem of redirecting the user to a new page....? any help or suggestions will be much appreciated
thanks

RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(url);
rd.forward(request, response);

I would also use String.equalsIgnoreCase() rather than compareTo().
