We've tried throwing a RedirectException but a formhandler is actually
defined as a plugin and plugins will only throw PluginExceptions. As
RedirectExceptions are acutally WikiExceptions (and thus on a
different fork to pluginExceptions) it just won't compile.
We're going to have a crack at writing to the header of the page and
see what we can do. It seems very odd that the formplugin does not
allow you to redirect to a different page according to success or
failure - we rather think that this is one of the more obvious things
that it should do. Perhaps we shouldn't be building this functionality
into our handler but more into the formplugin. Does anyone else have a
view on this?

Throwing a RedirectException does not work?
You could, of course, also use TemplateManager.requestResource() to
write Javascript into the <head> directly.

We've done a some work on the FormMailer FormHandler and have
wrapped it into a jar file and generally tidied it up. We've been
asked to add a redirect on success (similar to the original
FormMail.pl cgi). Has anyone done a redirect from within a
FormHandler? We've tried to trick it by outputting some javascript
to redirect the current browser window to a new relative URL but
this doesn't work - the javascript isn't even rendered. Any
suggestions?
