Hi Simon: I think maybe you have misunderstood what it means to say "don't directly go to jsps". What this means is don't break the MVC pattern. So for example, if you have a link on your jsp and all you want it to do is to go to a second jsp, resist the temptation to code the second jsp directly using that as your href value. Instead respect the MVC design and use the fowardAction that Struts already has. This way you are always going to the controller (the ActionServlet) to find out where to go next. So, adding a "redirect=true" in your mappings is not a bad thing really (unless you want to preserve request attributes.. but that's another story..:)
