SmartGWT Post and redirect to URL

I'am trying to Redirect to an URL with Post Parameters. Therefor i am using a DynamicForm. My code Looks like:

DynamicForm postForm = DynamicForm();
postForm.setCanSubmit(true);
postForm.setMethod(FormMethod.POST);
postForm.setAction(URL_OF_WEBSITE + POST_PARAMS);
addChild(postForm);

ActionHandler of a Button: 

postForm.submitForm();

I debuged and the submitForm(); button is called. But nothing happened. Whats my mistake?

Thank you in advance!

What JavaDoc of DynamicForm#submitForm() says:

this is used only in the very rare case that a form is used to submit data directly to a URL. Normal server contact is through DataBound Component Methods.

In SmartGWT each DynamicForm is bound to a DataSource and you can call different methods on DynamicForm to add/delete/update the record in the database directly.

I expecting that the new window where i submiting will open in my browser.

If you want to call any URL then simply use Window.open(servletURL+query-params,"","") and pass the data in query string that is accepted as GET request by the Servlet.

Sample code:

String servletName = GWT.getModuleBaseURL().replace("/" + GWT.getModuleName(), "")
                                                        + "myServlet?key1=value1";
Window.open(servletName, "", "");
//Window.open(servletName, "_self", "");
