Do you use browser:addform of the form framework?

If so, you have to provide your own view class overwriting the nextURL 
method. Be careful your view is used for the adaption of '+' (the adding 
view of the container). Therefore the self.context is referencing the 
'+' and the self.context.context the underlying container:

class AddView(object):

    def nextURL(self):
        return zapi.absoluteURL(self.context.context, self.request) + 
'/@@anyurl.html'

<browser:addform
    class="module.AddView"
    ...
    />
