Relying on javascript for business critical functions (and if payment is not a business critical function, what is?) is IMO NEVER a good idea, because it is not fail-proof at all.
What only if the user has switched of javascript in his browser?
IMO this kind of functionality should always be handled server-side!

Many thanks to Bill and Partha for your suggestions.
I used the javascript (2nd) technique because I am currently more familiar with it. It is now working. :)

If you use redirect to the payment url, the data in the form is in the session in your site and not the external site where it is needed. So redirect or forward will not help.
Try splitting up this work-flow into two steps: 1. in the first one you write the action class and save the stuff into database and then forward to a page where a hidden form is recreated using the same values as the first one, 2. in the "body onload" of this page, submit the form to the external url.
Hope this helps.
