"redirect:url" ....???

[javapedant]

I got an example of a controller which uses this statement inside its controller defn.


<bean id="personController" class="com.nave.task.PersonController">
<property name="formView" value="person"/>
<property name="successView" value="redirect:person.html" />
and the url mapping is defined as

<prop key="/person.html">personController</prop>

somebody please let me know what the redirect is doing there.

Do you want to know what part of the configuration causes the redirect (it's the value of the successView property) or which component/ class evaluates this value and actually causes the redirect (I think it's DispatcherServlet, it's some time ago that I've seen this code)?

Well....First of all apologies for not being clear. In all my task I worked on previously I used it as

<property name="successView" value="personHome" /> where the personHome is name of a Jsp which I would recquire when it is success. But now I see the redirect:url which is back to the same controller. I donno wether it's correct or not but the example I got, has this. ( But it doesn't execute anyways )

So I just what wanted to know the basic functionallity of that code(redirect:url)

Have a look at: 13.5.3.2. The redirect: prefix
