Redirect won't work from the server side when using Ajax. You will
have to use Javascript in this scenario:
window.location=...
If you are using an Ajax library such as Prototype and their function
AjaxRequest, you could return the following in your Velocity template:
#if ($redirectUrl)
<script type="text/javascript">window.location=$redirectUrl</script>
#else
// You content comes here
$feedbackText
...
#end
And your Page should be something like this:
public MyPage extends Page {
public void onGet() {
...
Context context = getContext();
String contextPath = context.getRequest().getContextPath();
String redirectUrl = "users/register.htm";
redirectUrl = context.getResponse().encodeRepsonseUrl(redirectUrl);
addModel("redirectUrl", redirectUrl);
}
public String getContentType() {
return "text/javascript; charset=UTF-8";
}
}
What happens here is that Prototype notices from the contextType that
you are returning javascript. So it will execute the script, in this
case window.location=...
Note you should probably not mix javascript with other content in your
Velocity template. So place the redirect code inside an #if statement
so only the <script>...</script> is returned in the response.
Hope this helps.
kind regards
