I'm trying to figure out how to "preserve" the BindingResult so it can be used in a subsequent GET via the Spring <form:errors> tag. The reason I want to do this is because of Google App Engine's SSL limitations. I have a form which is displayed via HTTP and the post is to an HTTPS URL. If I only forward rather than redirect then the user would see the https://whatever.appspot.com/my/form URL. I'm trying to avoid this. Any ideas how to approach this?

Below is what I'd like to do, but I only see validation errors when I use return "create".

@RequestMapping(value = "/submit", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public final String submit(
    @ModelAttribute("register") @Valid final Register register,
    final BindingResult binding) {

    if (binding.hasErrors()) {
        return "redirect:/register/create";
    }

    return "redirect:/register/success";
}
