Problem in Redirecting

Question

Hi All,
I am not sure why I cannot redirect to another with this code.
I have added a listener on my managed bean and upon click of the button, I wanted it to call a web service.
If there's no error, user should be redirected to another page.
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.handleClick}"
                      text="Commit" />
public void handleClick(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
     List errors = getBindings().getOperationBinding("WebServiceCall").execute();
     if(errors.size == 0){
          // redirect to a other url
          ExternalContext ectx =
               FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
          HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ectx.getResponse();
          try {
               //sample url www.google.com
               response.sendRedirect(getURL());
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
}Upon click I just remain on the same page instead of being redirected to another url. Any hints? Thanks

Hi,
I actually need to do a redirect into a new url. Say "www.google.com" with my initial code.
But I am noticing that the controller is just appending my new url when I call a redirect.
Just like this
http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp/faces/com/test/www.google.com
Any idea please?? How can I perform proper redirection in a managed bean. I want it to redirect on a different
page and not any views within the context path of my application
