hard📝 Application Q9 of 15

Spring Boot - Request and Response Handling

Areturn ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.FOUND).header("Location", "/home").build();

Breturn new ResponseEntity<>("/home", HttpStatus.FOUND);

Creturn "redirect:/home";

Dreturn ResponseEntity.created(URI.create("/home")).build();

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand how to set redirect status and header
ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.FOUND) sets 302 status, and header("Location", "/home") sets the redirect URL.
Step 2: Analyze other options
return new ResponseEntity<>("/home", HttpStatus.FOUND); sets body incorrectly, return "redirect:/home"; is Spring MVC redirect syntax but not ResponseEntity, return ResponseEntity.created(URI.create("/home")).build(); sets 201 Created with Location, not 302 Found.
Final Answer:
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.FOUND).header("Location", "/home").build(); -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use status + header for redirect with ResponseEntity [OK]

Quick Trick: Set 302 and Location header with ResponseEntity.status().header() [OK]
