Grails: Page won't redirect after completed Ajax call

Question

This is my ajax call:

Answer 1

Browsers won't redirect if an AJAX call returns a redirect. If you want to send the user to a new page after an AJAX call, you'll need to do so yourself in Javascript. Example:

def url = createLink(controller: 'user', action: 'authenticate')
render(contentType: 'text/html', text: "")

Ensure the AJAX response gets rendered by the browser. With the grails remoteFunction tag you should specify an element to update with the update attribute.
