 Hi Surendra,

 

To my knowledge, you cannot do this by simply adding response.sendRedirect() like you would with a regular JSP.

 

Instead, you need to create a new secondary page and a DisplayRequest class that executes as the secondary page loads.  You can then put the sendRedirect code in your DisplayRequest class.

 

There's a pretty good description of how to create secondary pages and execute DisplayRequest classes in the VAP developer's guide.

 

Hope this helps,

Eoin.
