What do the books/tutorials say?
Hint: Google each one separately and compare them for yourself.

That's odd. You mean none of those pages that were returned pointed out that chaining is simply when results of one servlet are passed onto another servlet for processing before being returned to the caller(JSP, say) while forward is the actual method of passing the parameters (results) between the chained servlets?
