No, of course not :-) If you post form data to Struts it should (preferrably) be processed in an "action handling only" Struts Action. The form should post using an ActionURL (required by the specs). In the ActionRequest, the targetted Struts Action updates your Model (the M in MVC) if need be and forwards (preferrably with redirect="true") to an " view handling only" Struts Action. Within the following RenderRequest(s), the "view handling" Struts Action uses the Model to configure the required JSP rendering state/data if need be. Its very easy to use an include only Action mapping for that if nothing has to be configured: <action "/index" include="/WEB-INF/view/index.jsp"/> It is advised to use an ActionMapping even for those situations as it properly hides the rendering solution. This applies to all Struts applications in general and a strong recommendation from the Struts team too.
I also suggest you read up a bit on the Struts Bridge if you haven't done so yet. You should start with the README.txt in the Struts Bridge source tree. Although the README.txt is a bit outdated already (haven't found the time yet to write a proper userguide), it explains the above recommended flow of actions.
