Question

Based on certain condition in my controller, I want to direct the user to an error page, which I am doing now.

when error page is displayed to user, I want the user to be then redirected to a specific retry page.

Is this the right way to do it using:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://www.somewhere.com/" /> 

or should i use javascript to do the redirect based on timer?

To get the right url I could put the url in flash scope and read them and place in above string

Why are you gonna make a redirect from the HTML level, while you can do it without any problems in your controller ? Play 2, Java:

public static Result something(){
    if (someCondition){
        return redirect(routes.Application.errorAction());
    }

    return ok("Render here not redirected view...");
}
