Inside a Jersey REST method I would like to forward to an another website. How can I achieve that?
@Path("/")
public class News {
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
@Path("go/{news_id}")
public String getForwardNews(
@PathParam("news_id") String id) throws Exception {
//how can I make here a forward to "http://somesite.com/news/id" (not redirect)?
return "";
}
}
EDIT:
I'm getting the No thread local value in scope for proxy of class $Proxy78
error when trying to do something like this:
@Context
HttpServletRequest request;
@Context
HttpServletResponse response;
@Context
ServletContext context;
...
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher("url");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
public Response foo()
{
URI uri = UriBuilder.fromUri(<ur url> ).build();
return Response.seeOther( uri ).build();
}
I used above code in my application and it works.
Try this, it worked for me:
public String getForwardNews(
@Context final HttpServletRequest request,
@Context final HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
{
System.out.println("CMSredirecting... ");
response.sendRedirect("YourUrlSite");
return "";
}
I can't test it right now. But why not...
Step 1. Get access to HttpServletResponse. To do it declare in your service something like:
@Context
HttpServletResponse _currentResponse;
Step 2. make redirect
...
_currentResponse.sendRedirect(redirect2Url);
EDIT
Well, to call forward method you need get to ServletContext. It is can be resolved the same way as response:
@javax.ws.rs.core.Context
ServletContext _context;
Now _context.forward
is available
