Thanks for your answer Robert, but perhaps I am not being descriptive enough.
I have an action called formSubmit. It would look to the user like: http://www.mydomain.com/app/formSubmit.do when they hit the submit button on the form. If this action is successful, I would like to redirect to an action called submitComplete. This should look to the user like: http://www.mydomain.com/app/submitComplete.do but instead, it attempts to send my user to: http://www.mydomain.com:8060/app/submitComplete.do which is incorrect. I assume the internals of struts are using the getServerName() and getServerPort() methods to form this URL. My only question is where? I have seen other examples in the struts source where there are work arounds for port 80 and the https port (443). You can look at these workarounds in the org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils class. I am looking for a smiliar workaround where i can avoid having struts append the port to the URL when I redirect.
