Redirect expose jsp path?

[jackysee]

I have put all of my JSP inside WEB-INF directory, so that no one can access the jsp directly. Normally, all of the view should be called by controller.

Say, I have mapped a request /home.html to HomeController and then it would dispatch to the view name home which is located at /WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp (by using prefix-suffix mapping as viewResolver)

The problem is that I want to redirect the request by sending redirect to browser, so I use

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView("/home.html"))

But in the browser's address bar, I see something like:

http://serverName/appName/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp

And actually I want it to redirect to http://serverName/appName/home.html

How can I do that?

Originally I use websphere that will have such exposing JSP path problem. I found that if I use Tomcat, the redirect is normal.

It turns out that I'm tracing wrong. So it is not related the to RedirectView object problem.

The source of the problem is: in WebSphere, if I use request.getRequestURL(), it would not return what the browser has initially request, but the real jsp location.

So does that mean I have to construct the path from other parameter instead?
