I found a lot of questions "How to open form result in new window", but I'm facing opposite problem.
I have form:
<form:form method="post" commandName="search">
...
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
Then I have controller with handling method
@RequestMapping(value = "/search.form", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String submit( @Valid final SearchObject searchObject, final BindingResult bindingResult ) {
if ( bindingResult.hasErrors() ) return "forms/search";
return "redirect:/A/result.form";
}
Everything works fine, except the fact that result is opened in new window/tab.
Solution that I found and is working is to add target attribute:
<form:form method="post" commandName="search" target="_self">
But _self
is default AFAIK.
I'm wondering why is that happening.
I checked generated HTML and it seems to me ok:
<form id="search" action="/myApp/A/search.form" method="post">
