When using FOP on a past project to output pdf, I used:
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="
+ reportName + "; ");
The second line caused it the browser to give a open/save dialog so that
.csv does not appear in the browser window. Also I'm not sure if a content
type other than text/plain is more appropriate for CSV, but it would be
worth looking in to.
Incidentally, when the action is completed, return null so that it does not
forward anywhere.

modified slightly:
// Now write the actual content type and data
response.setContentType("text/plain");
JspWriter stream = response.getWriter();
... write out the csv ...
// Return null to tell Struts the response is complete
return (null);
