Redirect issue

[neeraj_cmu]

	<bean id="urlMapping"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
		<property name="mappings">
			<props>
				<prop key="/admin/admin_home.html">
					AdminController
				</prop>
			</props>
		</property>
	</bean>

Adding a user controller

	<bean id="AdminAddUserController"
		class="com.fanniemae.disclosure.pcrf.webapp.action.AdminAddUserController">
		<property name="formView">
			<value>admin_addUser</value>
		</property>
		<property name="successView">
			<value>redirect&#58;admin/admin_home.html</value>
		</property>
	</bean>

The above mentioned code for redirect doesn't work. I guess it's because there are forward slashes in the redirect parameter. I was able to solve the problem by following code in the controller:

		RedirectView redirectView = new RedirectView("/admin/admin_home.html",true);
		return new ModelAndView(redirectView);

Although the problem was solved, I would prefer a solution where the view name is not hard coded in the java file.

Any idea on how I could achieve the redirect with the configuration in xml and not in java.

IIRC, only UrlBasedViewResolver and its subclasses support the "redirect:" notion. Which view resolver are you using?

I did not know about the constraint. I am using ResourceBundleViewResolver.

	<bean id="viewResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver">
		<property name="basename">
			<value>views</value>
		</property>
	</bean>

I am using ResourceBundleViewResolver.

In that case, make your view class a RedirectView.

adminHomeRedirect.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.RedirectView
adminHomeRedirect.url=admin/admin_home.html
