Marta -
Remember, an Ajax request/response is a separate processes and does
not affect the current page state. It happens "behind the scenes".
If you took my example and looked to see what was in the response
(resp), you would see that contains the results of jsp-listreports.do.
If you want the result of your request to load a new page, there are a
bunch of different options. One option would be to have the result of
your action return a success/failure message or the URL of the action
to call/failure message. I see you have dataType as xml, so you could
have your action return something like:
<response>
<success>/jsp-listreports.do</success>
</response>
$.ajax({
url: '/listReports.do',
type:'post',
cache: false,
dataType:'xml',
success: function (resp) {
// sudo code:
// parse xml for the success node
if (success) {
window.location = test of success node
}
else {
// provide an indication that there was a failure
}
}
});
