Spring 3.0 MVC :Redirect without parameters being added to my url

Question

I'm trying to redirect without parameters being added to my url. I mean after a redirect, my url looks like this: .../success/?param1=xxx&param2=xxx.

This issue is exactly the same as this Spring MVC Controller: Redirect without parameters being added to my url

The response https://stackoverflow.com/a/16841663/384984 is what I'm looking (ignoreDefaultModelOnRedirect). The problem is that I'm using Spring 3.0. How can I solve it with this Spring version?

1. You can simply clear the Model map in your Controller method before redirect .

   model.asMap().clear();
   return "redirect:" + yourURL;
   

2. Don't expose the model attributes at all.

   RedirectView view = new RedirectView(yourURL, true);
   view.setExposeModelAttributes(false);
   return new ModelAndView(view);
