java - Spring MVC @RequestMapping to return nothing, simply close -

i'm working on jsp gathers info , after it's submitted page closes , goes confirmation page. don't want confirmation page. after clicking submit on jsp, want window close. return value on controller needs value. can put in there allow end? controller:

@controller //@sessionattributes({"resultboard", "filterboard"}) public class newemployeecontroller {      newemployeeservice newempservice;      @autowired     public newemployeecontroller(newemployeeservice service){         this.newempservice = service;     }      @requestmapping(value = "newempinput", method = requestmethod.get)     public string promptemployee(model model)     {         //jsp can reference 1 object, need reference many objects. put many classes inside employeeformwrapper wrapper class.         model.addattribute("myform", new employeeformwrapper());         return "newempinput";     }      @requestmapping(value = "newempinput", method = requestmethod.post)     public string newemployee(@modelattribute("myform") employeeformwrapper myform)     {          newemployeevm employee = myform.getemployee();         clientvm client = myform.getclient();         projectvm project = myform.getproject();         system.out.println("employee = " + employee.getfirstname() + " " + employee.getlastname());         system.out.println("client = " + client.gettext());         system.out.println("project = " + project.gettext());          newempservice.savenewemployee(employee);          return "confirmnewemp";     } } 

changed method in java controller return void. added script jsp:

<script type="text/javascript">     function closewindow() {         window.close();     } </script> 

and updated first line of form in jsp this:

<form:form commandname="employee" modelattribute="employee" onsubmit="closewindow()"> 

my submit button in jsp stays same:

<p>     <input type="submit" value="submit"> </p> 

and works. thanks.
