I ve done some researches but couldn't find any question or answer that could help me,

so my probleme is as below :

I have a controller that redirects to an external link :

@controller("person")
publi class PersonController(){

    @RequestMapping(value="redirect",method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public String redirectToExternalLink(params...){
        String url = "https://externalHost.com/doSomthing";
        response.sendRedirect(url);
    }
}

after going through this method, I find my self face to a 404 error Page not Found, when I check the link I ve been redrected to I find :

www.mydomainName.com/doSomthing

As you can see, the external domain name is replaced by mine, I ve tried also this : 

response.setHeader("Location",url);
response.sendRedirect(url);

same issue.

is it a configuration that I should do on tomcat ? or there is a way to solve it ?

thanks

  • That code won't compile as-is, can you include the actual code you are having problems with? – Todd Jan 08 '17 at 15:43

Your code 

response.sendRedirect(url);

is correct. However, I would double check the url redirected to. I would also run the code in debug mode and check if 

response.sendRedirect(url);

is executed in the first place.

Please refer to this question, Redirect to an external URL from controller action in Spring MVC. If you encounter the common problem.

For my case, it was a network configurations issue (URL rewriting).
