:-) The question is not, whether it works on different servers,
the question is, whether the original including of forwarding
Action works on some servers.
If the Action.perform returns null, then there is no forward and
no reason for such an exception.
The real problem with this solution is that it breaks the MVC
pattern. In order to make it work, your VIEW (your JSP) which
includes the action, decides how to display the action's results.
It does so by incluing the second *.jsp.
But this decision should be made by the action itself in cooperation
with the ActionServlet. (The action decides what is the logical
result e.g. "success" and the action servlet maps it to the
physical *.jsp or whatever is defined in struts-config.xml)
