GWT: forward user to a URL

Question

Really simple question: From within GWT I want to forward the user away from my GWT page to a certain URL. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You could create a native method:

public static native void setWindowHref(String url)/*-{
        $wnd.location.href = url;

}-*/; 

This would set the current browser URL to be the address you specify.

Alternative with GWT's API (thanks, Hilbrand):

Window.Location.assign(url);

Answer 2

Try this:

public static native void leavePage() /*-{
   $wnd.location.href = "http://www.certainurl.com/";
}-*/;
