public java.lang.String encodeRedirectURL(java.lang.String url)
- Encodes the specified URL for use in the
sendRedirect
method or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. Because the rules for making this determination can differ from those used to decide whether to encode a normal link, this method is separated from theencodeURL
method.All URLs sent to the
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect
method should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies. - Parameters:
url
- the url to be encoded.- Returns:
- the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise.
