Implementing Pass-Through with Grails Filters - redirect

Question

Please note: Although I'm using the Grails Webflow plugin here, I am pretty sure this is just a generic question that any battle-weary Grails veteran could answer.
Grails 2.4.4 here. I have a need for a Grails Filter that inspects all traffic coming into a particular controller. If the app is in a particular state, I need to redirect traffic to another controller/action. Else, I need the filter to act as a no-op/pass-through filter (meaning it does nothing; just allows the request to pass through it and on to its intended destination):
package filters
class MyAppFilters {
def filters = {
fizzFilter(controller: 'fizz', action: '*') {
before = {
if(AppStateHolder.checkState() == AppState.Blue) {
redirect(controller: 'auth', action: 'unauthorized')
return false
} else {
// Allow request to continue on to its intended controller/action target ('no-op'/pass-through)
???
}
}
}
}
}
I have everything working perfectly for when the app state is AppState.Blue (so, the if-condition). The problem is that when app state isn't "blue", and that else executes, I keep getting infinite redirect errors. I believe Grails Webflow is complicating things, but I can't really fix anything with how it has been implemented.
I've also tried returning true/false from inside the else like so:
} else {
// Allow request to continue on to its intended controller/action target ('no-op'/pass-through)
return false // Also tried 'true'
}
But this produces the same infinite redirect errors. It looks like I need to do some kind of redirect/render/etc. inside this else or webflow will cause problems.
So I'm looking for a way to tell Grails to redirect to whatever was the controller/action off the request. Something like:
} else {
// Allow request to continue on to its intended controller/action target ('no-op'/pass-through)
redirect(controller: req.controller, action: req.action)
return false
}
Is this possible, if so, how (specifically)?
