I have noticed the following code is redirecting the User to a URL inside the project,
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processForm(HttpServletRequest request, LoginForm loginForm,
BindingResult result, ModelMap model)
{
String redirectUrl = "yahoo.com";
return "redirect:" + redirectUrl;
}
whereas, the following is redirecting properly as intended, but requires http:// or https://
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processForm(HttpServletRequest request, LoginForm loginForm,
BindingResult result, ModelMap model)
{
String redirectUrl = "http://www.yahoo.com";
return "redirect:" + redirectUrl;
}
I want the redirect to always redirect to the URL specified, whether it has a valid protocol in it or not and do not want to redirect to a view. How can I do that?
Thanks,
You can do it with two ways.
First:
@RequestMapping(value = "/redirect", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void method(HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {
httpServletResponse.setHeader("Location", projectUrl);
httpServletResponse.setStatus(302);
}
Second:
@RequestMapping(value = "/redirect", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView method() {
return new ModelAndView("redirect:" + projectUrl);
}
