redirect to another jsp page - ajax

Question

I m trying to redirect control to next jsp page. If the boolean value is true redirect to success jsp page else redirect to login page.
#RequestMapping(value = "/validate", method = RequestMethod.POST)
#ResponseBody
public ModelAndView(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Model model) {
String userName = request.getParameter("userName");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
boolean validuser=employeeService.checkLogin(userName,password);
if(validuser == true)
{
model.setViewName("success");
return model;
}
model.setViewName("login");
return model;
}
This is my Ajax call.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("form").submit(function() {
var userName=$("#inputEmail").val();
var password=$("#inputPassword").val();
$.ajax({
type : "post",
url : "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/validate",
data : {userName:userName, password:password},
success:function(data){
alert(data);
},
error:function()
{
alert("Error ");
}
});
});
});
Control is not going to success block. Only the error alert is getting displayed.
public String validate(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Model model) {
String userName = request.getParameter("userName");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
boolean validuser=employeeService.checkLogin(userName,password);
if(validuser == true)
{
return "redirect:/success";
}
else{
return "redirect:/login";
}
}
I have tried it using this approach. Still its entering error block.

Add window.location.href = 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL' in your success callback.
success:function(data){
alert(data);
window.location.href = 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL'; // redirect
},

If it's an ajax call, you can't use the redirect: in the return url. On your controller, return "http://example.domain.com/success". Then in your success handler use window.location.href = 'redirect_url'
