Can i redirect a user through ajax call

Question

I just want to know if I can redirect a user through ajax call where i have to call one of my method in java and then do a redirection from there

I don't think Java *has* AJAX calls. Did you mean Javascript or are you actually referring to back-end Java? — Waleed Khan, Mar 11 '13 at 13:45
Looks pretty obvious to me that he is referring to back-end Java. — Michael De Keyser, Mar 11 '13 at 13:48

AJAX calls return raw data to a Javascript callback.
They cannot tell the browser to do anything.

Instead, you can tell your Javascript code to navigate to a new page.

You can build an ajax redirect (for example in a filter in doFilter) like that.

String facesRequestHeader = httpServletRequest.getHeader( "Faces-Request" );

boolean isAjaxRequest = facesRequestHeader != null
        && facesRequestHeader.equals( "partial/ajax" );

String url = MessageFormat.format( "{0}://{1}:{2,number,####0}{3}",
        request.getScheme(), request.getServerName(),
        request.getServerPort(), YOUR_NEW_URL);

PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
pw.println( "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" );
pw.println( "<partial-response><redirect url=\"" + url
        + "\"></redirect></partial-response>" );
        pw.flush(););

This is in case you are using servlets or JSF or something like that, and you can redirect before going to the lifecycle.

You can send an ajax response from Java then redirect the user following the answer.
