Jersey (JSR311-Implementation) & Redirections

Question

Is there a way to redirect the user-agent in a Jersey Resource?

In Spring MVC there\'s the \"redirect:\"-syntax but I didn\'t find anything comparable in Jersey\'s

Answer 1

You have to return a Response object containing your status code and Location-header. The easiest way is to use javax.ws.rs.core.Response.temporaryRedirect(URI).

When using Viewable you might need to throw a WebApplicationException containing that Response object.
