Hello, I have problem in trying to redirect my incoming requests to an absolute URL from a Servlet Filter. I have this filer: secureconnectionfilter cart.security.filter.SecureConnectionFilter secureconnectionfilter securitytest I cannot use the request dispatcher because it forwards to a relative address in the same servlet context only: RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp"); rd.forward(request, response); so I want to use sendRedirect, like: HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response; httpResponse.sendRedirec   More>>

Hello,

I have problem in trying to redirect my incoming requests to an absolute URL from a Servlet Filter.

I have this filer: 

			

			

			secureconnectionfilter
			

			cart.security.filter.SecureConnectionFilter
			

			

			

			secureconnectionfilter
			

			securitytest



I cannot use the request dispatcher because it forwards to a relative address in the same servlet context only: 

			

			RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
			

			rd.forward(request, response);



so I want to use sendRedirect, like: 

			

			HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;
			

			httpResponse.sendRedirect(httpResponse.encodeRedirectURL("http://localhost:8080/cart/index.jsp"));



But it is not working, it ignores the sendRedirect without throwing any exception! so how can I redirect to a new page from Filter outside the servlet context?




Any idea? Thank you in advance..

Hi,

I have tried your code and It does throw an exception. Probably you are not catching it, or you are catching it and ignoring.


I have tried this:


...
  try {
    HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
    res.sendRedirect(res.encodeRedirectURL("http://www.yahoo.com/"));
    ...
  }
  catch(Exception e) {
    filterConfig.getServletContext().log(e.getMessage());
  }
...

And I got an IllegalStateException


To fix the problem, I have simply put a return; after the sendRedirect call.
