Thanks Edgar for your prompt reply. It is good to know I'm not going mad - I searched the archives but couldn't find anything.
I tried both request.getRequestDispatcher.forward and response.sendRedirect but in both cases I got an IllegalStateException because the response was already committed. I haven't done anything to commit the response in my controller, I think, so I assumed that the struts framework had done so. Is this assumption correct do you know? Thanks again for your help.
