Don't redirect as that creates an entirely new request. You could use
setAction() instead.

But I think you need to ask yourself whether this is really the best
way to do this. findPerson() doesn't seem to do a lot of finding at
all. So why bother? Couldn't you simply go directly to person()?

Probably a fatal error. Set debug to 2 and/or check your server log.
