Re: [Springframework-developer] successView changes

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Dion,

I presume you are actually using this view as a RedirectView? That's the 
only thing that makes sense, given that you're playing around with the 
name as if it's a URL, and the fact that it has .html at the end; I 
presume this is mapped to another controller?

In any case, you shouldn't be manipulating the view name at all. What 
you should be doing is just setting the id as a model object, and 
letting RedirectView build the URL for you:
  return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView(), true), 
"id", theId));

Now do you have a problem with the controller itself knowing the name of 
the param?
