Change a Spring MVC redirect from a GET to a POST?

I'm doing a redirect from a Spring MVC controller by returning a String containing the URL:

return "redirect:/my/form/newpage.html?pid=".concat(myform.getId().toString());

this gives a string like this:

redirect:/my/form/newpage.html?pid=456

The trouble is, the Spring ModelFactory class appends all our session attributes to the query string and it looks horrible. I'd really like to change this redirect from a GET to a POST, but I have no idea how to do that. Can anyone help?

You can't really change the HTTP Method of redirect but

you can try this to avoid exposing variables to path (instead these explicitly added like pid):

public ModelAndView redirectToSomewhere() {
    RedirectView redirectView = new RedirectView("/my/form/newpage.html?pid=".concat(myform.getId().toString());
    redirectView.setExposeModelAttributes(false); // these
    redirectView.setExposePathVariables(false); //two depend on the way you set your variables
    return new ModelAndView(redirectView);
}
