question on redirecting in gwt

Question

i am using gwt to create a web application.

when a user presses the logout button, i want to be able to refresh the page(or basically redirect to the homepage)as my GWT application runs only on one html page.

what is the programmatic code to do this?

Answer 1

You could use

//redirect the browser to the given url. Native method

public static native void redirect(String url)/*-{
      $wnd.location = url;
  }-*/;

//Example call

redirect("http://www.example.com/");

Answer 2

You want to use Window.Location.assign() to tell the browser to go to a URL, such as a URL pointing to a servlet that logs out the user.
