spring controller 转发和重定向的一点理解

package com.atguigu.controller;

import com.atguigu.entity.Role;
import com.atguigu.service.RoleService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.util.List;

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/role")
@SuppressWarnings({"unchecked", "rawtypes"})
public class RoleController {

    @Autowired
    private RoleService roleService;

    @RequestMapping("/index")
    public String index(ModelMap model) {
        List<Role> list = roleService.findAll();

        model.addAttribute("list", list);
        return "role/index";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/create")
    public String create() {
        return "role/create";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/save")
    public String save(Role role, HttpServletRequest request) {
        roleService.insert(role);
        return "common/successPage";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/delete/{role_id}")
    public String delete(@PathVariable Long role_id) {
        roleService.delete(role_id);
        return "redirect:/role/index";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/edit/{role_id}")
    public ModelAndView edit(@PathVariable Long role_id) {
        //根据id查询对象
        Role role = roleService.getRoleById(role_id);

        ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
        mv.addObject("role",role);
        mv.setViewName("role/update");
        return mv;
    }

    @RequestMapping("/update")
    public String update(Role role) {
        roleService.update(role);
        return "common/successPage";
    }

}

可以发现转发的地址都没有/开头, 重定向的地址是以/开头的
我是个初学者,后来想明白了, 转发的地址, 会通过thymeleaf解析器进行前缀和后缀拼接,填写的是页面的路径"role/update"就是role文件夹下的update.html
重定向,相当于在浏览器地址栏直接输入的地址,这个地址是spring @Controller的地址,通过@Controller 返回一个页面地址,再通过thymeleaf处理,才能找到页面
