It usually means that there is business logic trapped in the Action. Rather than call another action, extract that business logic into a separate class that anyone can call on demand.
The Actions are best used as *adapters* to your business logic layer. The first sign that an Action is no longer an adapter, but part of an API, is the yearning to call one Action from another. :)
A very excellent tool for building a business layer is the new Commons Chain package in the sandbox.

Is this something possible
Thanks Gary

Hi
Something like that (taken from the Struts example) should work.
private String page = "/action.do"; pageContext.forward(page);
Kind regards Dennis Hunziker
