How to redirect in Asynchronous Servlet?

Question

According to this document, I understand a Request could be dispatch forward to another servlet in one Asynchronous Servlet which also makes container to call complete() and trigger another Servlet or JSP automatically.

But, what if I want to redirect the page under async Servlet? Should I call complete() and response.redirect("") both? do we have any example of redirection?

Thanks.

What you can do in this situation is that give specific json response to client (browser) using response.getWriter.write(jsonObject) and in JavaScript you write code for changing the location i.e location.assign("/newPage").

@ZishanMohsin thanks for your answer. so there is noway to redirect the page at server side in this case? – Korben Aug 04 '15 at 07:00
You can redirect the request to another page but don't send that request to a view page, otherwise client who sent the asynch request will get html code in response. – Zishan Mohsin Aug 04 '15 at 07:03
