Jersey URL forwarding

Question

Inside a Jersey REST method I would like to forward to an another website. How can I achieve that?

@Path(\"/\")
public c         


        

Answer 1

Try this, it worked for me:

public String getForwardNews(

@Context final HttpServletRequest request,

@Context final HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception

{

System.out.println("CMSredirecting... ");

response.sendRedirect("YourUrlSite");

return "";

}

Answer 2

public Response foo()
{
    URI uri = UriBuilder.fromUri(<ur url> ).build();
    return Response.seeOther( uri ).build();
}

I used above code in my application and it works.

Answer 3

I can't test it right now. But why not...

Step 1. Get access to HttpServletResponse. To do it declare in your service something like:

@Context
HttpServletResponse _currentResponse;

Step 2. make redirect

...
_currentResponse.sendRedirect(redirect2Url);

EDIT

Well, to call forward method you need get to ServletContext. It is can be resolved the same way as response:

@javax.ws.rs.core.Context 
ServletContext _context;

Now _context.forward is available
