Re: [Springframework-developer] successView changes

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

No. I am assuming right now you are using InternalResourceViewResolver. 
All you would need to do is define the view name literal (which should 
still be in the config, not hardcoded in the controller) as

redirect:viewFoo.html

in this particular case. Then the controller can just do

return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView(), "id", theId));

InternalResourceViewResolver (or rather its superclass 
UrlBasedViewResolver) will see the 'redirect:' prefix, and create and 
use a RedirectView itself. So the nice thing is that that controller no 
longer needs to know that there is a redirect. Now keep in mind that 
there's limitations to the opacity though, in terms of whether control 
will go to an internal view or to a redirect, since on a redirect all 
the model params need to go on the URL. So same as before, you can't 
stick in any arbitrary complex property into the model and expect to be 
able to do a redirect...
