After thinking again we'd better extend the Environment interface with a
method called getRedirector() as replacement for the redirect() method
(similar to getOutputStream()) and let the sitemap engine pass that
object to the Actions and of course use that for the implementation of
the map:redirect element as well. It seams a clearer approach to me so
implementors of an Environment are free how to implement a Redirector.
But anyway, thanks for the quick solution :)
