Wolfgang, Redirect outside of an app can be done a number of ways.
One suggestion: Map your redirect to a class that creates the forwardURL. Put the forwardURL into request scope. Create a JSP that does nothing but the redirect. Map to it in struts-config. use the jsp:usebean and <meta http_equiv> tag to perform the external redirect. The advantage of this method is logging which can be done in the class and you have no context other than what you specify in the <meta http-equiv> tag.
