Spring MockMvc redirectedUrl with pattern

I have a simple PersonController class that provides save() method to persist the object from http post request.

package org.rw.control

Since spring 4.0 you can use redirectedUrlPattern as pointed by Paulius Matulionis

As of spring 3.x this is not supported out of the box but you can easily add you custom result matcher

private static ResultMatcher redirectedUrlPattern(final String expectedUrlPattern) {
    return new ResultMatcher() {
        public void match(MvcResult result) {
            Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\A" + expectedUrlPattern + "\\z");
            assertTrue(pattern.matcher(result.getResponse().getRedirectedUrl()).find());
        }
    };
}

And use it like build-in matcher

 mockMvc.perform(
    post("/person/save", new Object[0])
        .param("firstName", "JunitFN")
        .param("lastName", "JunitLN")
        .param("gender", "M")
        .param("dob", "11/02/1989")
 ).andExpect(
        redirectedUrlPattern("view/[0-9]+")
 );
