Redirect to another page

[Anders Persson]

Hi

I have a situation when I want to redirect to a certain page. When using the widget implementation I have created a BASE_PAGE.

.

deferred class

BASE_PAGE

inherit

WSF_PAGE_CONTROL

redefine

control,

initialize_controls

end

control: WSF_MULTI_CONTROL [WSF_STATELESS_CONTROL]

When I detect that I should redirect to another page I have tried two different approaches:

1.

redirect_to_start_page()

local

redir : WSF_HTML_REDIRECTION_RESPONSE

do

create redir.make ("/")

response.send (redir)

end

2.

redirect_to_start_page()

do

  control.redirect ("/")

end

The first approach is not compatible with the widget implementation. I get some precondition errors but the redirection works.

The second alternative is not enough to make the page be redirected. I can not find how to actually trigger the redirection to the page.

Regards

You can also do something like 

compute_response_redirect (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE; a_location: READABLE_STRING_32)

-- Redirect to `a_location'

                local

h: HTTP_HEADER

do

create h.make

h.put_content_type_text_html

h.put_current_date

h.put_location (a_location)

res.set_status_code ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.see_other)

res.put_header_text (h.string)

end

Hi

I tried that and I get same behaviour as with 

control.redirect ("/")

Might be that another header is added by the framework. In the case that works I send the respons directly but then the problem is that the framework tries to respond one more time and I get some precondition errors

Hi

Can you check what you get using http://www.getpostman.com/?

or Fiddler?

Hi

I redesigned so that I check earlier If I should redirect. After the check I decide which page to send to the browser. Earlier I Started with the expected page and when I found a reason to redirect I did that. I guess the concequense was that the system tried to complete the first page but the status was corrupted due to my redirect

Hi Anders,

Was it a user usage issue, or something that could be improved in EWF?

note that I think I experienced in the past that sometime it works better with absolute URL, rather than just "/", I think that depended of the browser (you can use WSF_REQUEST.absolute_script_url ("/")  to help building the absolute url).

I think it was how I used it. But a problem could be that if I find an error when executing a page I do not know how to handle it. I guess at the moment I would initially ignore the problem and send the page anyway with some information and ask the user to click a link to proceed. 

It is more about error handling maybe. One need to wright well structured code.
