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); }
