Question

I need to direct the user to another URL after the server has received some form data. How can I redirect the user in Play Framework?

I have tried with:

   val url = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/user/" + user.id + "/" + user.name
   response.setHeader("Location", url)

But the user is not redirected. With PHP I can do this using:

header('Location: http://127.0.0.1:9000/user/'.user->id.'/'.user->name);

I have tried to use Action(MyController.myMethod) but then is not the “preferred” URL used. How do I set a redirect header using Play Framework?

Why not simply use?

redirect("http://www.zenexity.fr");
