What is the preferred way to specify an HTTP “Location” Response Header in Spring MVC 3?

Question

What is the preferred way to specify an HTTP \"Location\" Response Header in Spring MVC 3?

As far as I can tell, Spring will only provide a \"Location\" in response

According to: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30

Absolute URI should be used:

Location       = "Location" ":" absoluteURI  

And the URI should be escaped properly:
