Redirecting from one controller action to another controller action from ajax call

I am new to grails and I am stuck with the following problem.

I am calling an action1 in controller1 through an ajax call. Now though it I want to redi开发者_运维百科rect to action2 which is in controller2.

as specified below... But it doesn't seems to work Please help me!!

class controller1 {  
   def action1 = {
       redirect(controller:'controller',action:'action2')
   }
}    

class controller2{  
  action2{

  }
}

You need to give the correct controller name for controller attribute

redirect(controller:'controller2',action:'action2')

you need to do the redirect through your ajax call back function, e.g.: if you are using JQuery for example

   $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "${createLink(controller:'controller1',action:'action1')}",
           data: "dataToSend="somedata,
           success: function(data){//data is the message rendered from action1
              window.location = ${createLink(controller:'controller2',action:'action2')}
           },
           error: function(){
              alert("Error from controller 1 action 1");
           }
      });

in your controller1 action1, you need to render back to the ajax event:

class controller1 {  
   def action1 = {
       ........
       some code/logic
       ........
       def message = "some message, success! or error!"
       render(text:message, type:,contentType:'text/xml')
   }
}

You can use render() instead of redirect().
