You can specify that a <forward> be handled by a redirect instead of a
jsp:forward by doing this:
<forward name="success" path="/home.jsp" redirect="true"/>

As a Lurker hoping to add his application framework to Struts...
I separate doGet() and doPost() requests so that doGets use forward() and
doPosts use redirects. I would like to hear why Struts decided to use
forward exclusively. On a tangent, I would also like to hear why Struts maps
actions at the form level rather than the input level as in traditional cgi
programs.
