What is redirection?

The redirection mentioned here is a mechanism specified by the http protocol. The workflow is described below.

(1) The client initiates an http request and accesses the server-side components.

(2) The server returns a response result with status code 302. The meaning of this code is to let the browser access another component, and the response result contains the URL address of accessing the new component. The new access component may or may not be in the same application.

(3) When the browser receives this result, it will automatically access the new URL.

(4) The browser accepts the new URL and returns the result.

Implementation

Redirection is completed through the sendRedirect (String location) method provided by the HttpServletReponse interface in the Servlet API.

Redirect Features
