This is the easiest way to go, so I'm not against, no other opinions?

A 301 permanent replacement makes sense to me.

Hi,
Since all redirect response types (url, cross-redirect,
request-redirect, request-redirect-noparam) call
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() through
RequestHandler.callRedirect(), all controllers redirections do 302
redirections.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#3xx_Redirection
To keep short:
301: permanent redirect
302: temporary redirect
SEO best practices recommend to use 301 instead of 302 (just Google
for "301 vs 302")
Of course this does not matter much for an ERP only used in an
intranet, but for eCommerce it matters.
So we have 3 solutions at hand:
1. Keep as is (ie continue with a 302 redirect)
2. Permanently replace the 302 redirect by a 301
3. Offer an option between the 2 (or even others if we want, like 307).
If we choice 3, what name would you pick for this option
("redirect-type", between {"301","302"}?). Then it would not have any
sense for non redirect response types, maybe a reason to prefer option
2. Though a temporary redirect could still be useful in case of
redirection on error, hence my preference for 3...
What's your opinion?
