We do this in our application. It's just a little different flow. We
have to send a user to a different site using a post method and then
they get redirected back to our site with a direct action link. We
create a new WOResponse, set the content string to the html containing
the post method, generate the response within the WOComponent and
return that. It looks something like this...
StringBuffer html = new StringBuffer();
html.append("<html>\n");
html.append("<body BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>\n");
html.append("<p> \"please wait while we redirect you to the test
site...\" </p>\n");
html.append("<form name=\"test\" method=\"post\" action=\"https://test.psu.edu/PSU/Test
\">\n");
html.append("<input type=hidden name=VALUE value=\"" + value + "\">\n");
html.append("</form>\n");
html.append("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">\n");
html.append("document.test.submit();");
html.append("</SCRIPT>\n");
html.append("</body>\n");
html.append("</html>");
WOResponse response = new WOResponse();
response.appendContentString(html.toString());
response = component.generateResponse();
return response;
Hope that helps,
Sherry

All:
I've been poking around WORedirect looking for the best way to
handle this situation. Basically, I have an application which
users have to fill out some information on. When they're done,
they should click a button, and be directed back to another site.
So far that seems straight forward.
This button should edit EO's on my site and, if successful, send
the user back to the other site
Check.
with some values sent via a POST transaction.
Here is where it gets confusing. Why a POST, why not a get? The
same values as sent to your app, or different values? Does the
user's browser need to do the post? Can you POST the data from
your app and then just do a normal redirect?
When they are sent back to the other site I have to set a value
there to indicate that they are done at my site. I send that value
back in my form.
It seems like it should be easy and it seems like there's more
than one way to skin this cat but I'd like to hear what others do
in similar situations.
ERXRedirect can be useful for some things. Depending on what you
need to do, this might give you some ideas:
