8.3.3 Redirects In URL Mappings 6.0.0

(Quick Reference) # 8.3.3 Redirects In URL Mappings Version: 6.0.0 ## 8.3.3 Redirects In URL Mappings Since Grails 2.3, it is possible to define URL mappings which specify a redirect. When a URL mapping specifies a redirect, any time that mapping matches an incoming request, a redirect is initiated with information provided by the mapping. When a URL mapping specifies a redirect the mapping must either supply a String representing a URI to redirect to or must provide a Map representing the target of the redirect. That Map is structured just like the Map that may be passed as an argument to the `redirect` method in a controller.
    "/viewBooks"(redirect: [uri: '/books/list'])
    "/viewAuthors"(redirect: [controller: 'author', action: 'list'])
    "/viewPublishers"(redirect: [controller: 'publisher', action: 'list', permanent: true])
Request parameters that were part of the original request will not be included in the redirect by default. To include them it is necessary to add the parameter `keepParamsWhenRedirect: true`.
    "/viewBooks"(redirect: [uri: '/books/list', keepParamsWhenRedirect: true])
    "/viewAuthors"(redirect: [controller: 'author', action: 'list', keepParamsWhenRedirect: true])
    "/viewPublishers"(redirect: [controller: 'publisher', action: 'list', permanent: true, keepParamsWhenRedirect: true])
