Redirect from spring controller with post parameter

Question

I want to redirect to another page(outside my application) from spring controller with post parameter. I search a lot but didn't any solution.

Solution 1

You will not be able to add a POST, but you can redirect with GET. Do the following:

@RequestMapping("/redirectMe")
public void redirectMe (HttpServletResponse response){
    response.sendRedirect("http://redirected.com/form?someGetParam=foo");
}

Solution 2

Do something like this

@RequestMapping(value="/someUrl",method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String myFunc(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response,Map model){
    //do sume stuffs
     return "redirect:/anotherUrl"; //gets redirected to the url '/anotherUrl'
}

@RequestMapping(value="/anotherUrl",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String myAnotherFunc(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response){
    //do sume stuffs
     return "someView"; 
}

Why post is not possible? I have problem with get when I have collection as parameter generated URL is then: http://localhost:8080/myApp/A/result.form?parameters=SomeNam‌​e&parameters=SoemFie‌​ld which leads to parameters=SomeName. Any idea?

When you advise the browser to redirect, as is stated in this question, there is nowhere to define which http verb is being used. It will always be a GET. If you need to POST, you will need to deploy a javascript client to do so, and you will need to make sure you are not doing cross site scripting.
