Return same view controller using ModelAndView of Spring Web MVC

Question

I am using Spring Web MVC and Hibernate for developing my application.

My login.jsp page has following code :

<form:form method="post" commandName="User">
   User Name : 
      <form:input path="email"/>
   Password : 
     <form:input path="password"/>

<input type="submit" align="center" value="Execute">

Now, My servlet.xml file has following code :

 <bean name="/uservalidate.htm" class="com.sufalam.mailserver.presentation.web.UserValidateFormController">
        <property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
        <property name="commandName" value="User"/>
        <property name="commandClass" value="com.sufalam.mailserver.bean.User"/>
        <property name="formView" value="login"/>
        <property name="successView" value="layout.jsp"/>
        <property name="userSecurityProcessor" ref="IUserSecurityProcessor"/>
    </bean>

My UserValidateFormController has following code :

public class UserValidateFormController extends SimpleFormController {

    /** Logger for this class and subclasses */
    protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
    private IUserSecurityProcessor userSecurityProcessor;

    public ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command)
            throws ServletException, SufalamException {
            ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
            Map model = new HashMap();


        String username = ((User) command).getEmail();
        String password = ((User) command).getPassword();
        List userChecking = new ArrayList();
        userChecking = userSecurityProcessor.findByAll(username, password, 0.0);
        System.out.println("userChecking length = "+userChecking.size());
        if (userChecking.size() == 1) {
            return new ModelAndView("layout");
            //return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView()));
        }

        return new ModelAndView("login", model);

    }

    protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
        User user = new User();
        return user;
    }

  public void setUserSecurityProcessor(IUserSecurityProcessor userSecurityProcessor) {
        this.userSecurityProcessor = userSecurityProcessor;

    }

In my UserValidateFormController at the time of handing submit event, i am checking that username and password are correct or not..

It's working fine & if both are matching then its redirecting to layout.jsp, that's also fine.

But if username or password are incorrect then i want to redirect to same login.jsp page and display appropriate error..

Please suggest me the solution that what to do redirecting to same view controller..

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Finally solve this issue with following line of code :

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView()));

or

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView("success.htm");

Thanks...

If you have an InternalResourceViewResolver configured, you can do it like this:

return new ModelAndView("redirect:success.htm");

In my opinion, this is clearer.
