Spring MVC Redirect to HTTPs site after successful post form

We would like to redirect user after a successful post to secure pages.

@RequestMapping(value="/myapp", method=POST) 
public String processForm(Formbean formbean){
   // redirect to https ?????? 
   return "redirect:/secure"; 
}

Is there any easy way to make it without writing full redirection url?

Not too sure you can do that without specifying the entire url in the redirect string.

Perhaps its best to add a security constraint for that url in your web.xml setting the transport-guarantee to CONFIDENTIAL. If your servlet container is setup correctly then that should be all you need to get it to do the automatic redirect for you. 

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Secure page</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/securePage.html</url-pattern>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <user-data-constraint>
    <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
  </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

you can check out RedirectView and the contextRelative parameter in the Spring API Docs:

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/api/org/springframework/web/servlet/view/RedirectView.html

hope that helped...
