Code continue to execute in same servlet even after request forwarded.

Question

Hi
I have forwarded flow of execution in first line of my servlet.
request.getRequestDispatcher("xx.jsp").forward(req,res);
my class looks like:
servlet
line 1: request.getRequestDispatcher("xx.jsp").forward(req,res);
line 2: some code
line 3: some code
Now what happens that even after execution of line 1........ line2 and 3 gets executed.
But after execution of line 3 flow is forwarded to xx.jsp.
How can i avoid execution of line 2 and 3.
Please comment
Thanks
