I am trying similar thing as of this question

but it is not working with me at all.

Action code:

    public String getMail(){
        try {  //some code

            url = accessToken.getCallbackUrl();
            if(url != null){

                return "redirect";
            }

            return "input";

        } catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
            return "input";
        }
    }

    public String getUrl() {
        return url;
    }

    public void setUrl(String url) {
        this.url = url;
    }

Struts.xml

    <action name="getMail" method="getMail"
                  class="test.MailAction">
                <result name="input">/index.jsp</result>
                <result name="redirect" type="redirect">${url}</result>
    </action>

I wrote setter-getter also for url.

and when I am trying to manually write this url in browser then it is working perfectly.But, automatically it is not redirecting

Don't use `getSOMETHING` for a method that is not a `Getter` :/ BTW, which error are you hitting ? – Andrea Ligios Apr 22 '13 at 16:10
It is not showing any error. It just stops before **return "redirect";** statement. – pranay godha Apr 22 '13 at 16:54
Are you getting an url from your `accessToken.getCallbackUrl();` method? – Aleksandr M Apr 22 '13 at 17:08
Yes, I am getting url and when I am pasting this url on browser manually then it is working fine too. – pranay godha Apr 22 '13 at 17:12
So what do you mean by **It just stops before return "redirect"; statement**? – Aleksandr M Apr 22 '13 at 17:33
`if(url != null){ System.out.println(url); return "redirect"; }` I wrote this. So it prints url on console and hangs there.Then I just copy that url from console and paste on browser and it works. – pranay godha Apr 22 '13 at 17:44
Hangs? So you are trying to say that return doesn't returns? – Aleksandr M Apr 23 '13 at 08:11
Yes, it is not returning anything – pranay godha Apr 23 '13 at 20:25
