Actually, the value of the redirect attribute also plays a role. True, when forwarding to a JSP, utlimately the request ends with the JSP generating content and sending it the the browser. If one of your actions is invoking another action using findForward, pay attenting to the redirect attribute defined for the target forward.
If it is set to true, the request will end, because the container will actually send a response to the client, with a redirect HTTP header. If it is false, then the request forwards to the target action. You can access the value of the redirect attribute from ActionForward.getRedirect(), you can even manipulate it with ActionForward.setRedirect() if you need to--I recommend against it as ActionForward objects appear to be cached as singletons at the application/servlet context.
