Michael, thank you very much for your fast response. You're idea sounds really interesting and might be a really good solution. May I ask you a few more questions:
Concerning 1.: Where exactly should I check for the GET or the POST-Request. Would you recommend to check for the GET/POST-Method in every execute-method of an actionclass or is there a better (unique) place to check for that. I thought about extending the RequestProcessor, but this doesn't seem to work, becuase I need the mapping.findForward()-information of my execute-method to know where to go (at least I guess so, if there´s no other way). Is it necessary to create a FORM to have the POST-Request or is it also possible the way I showed with the "switchLanguage.do?lang=en"-way? What do you mean by redirect? Does this have anything to do with the redirect=true/false entry in the RedirectActionForward or the struts-config.xml or is this a basic HTTP-Concept? Concernig 2: What other possibilities do I have to find my refering page if not with the HTTP-Headers or the RequestURL()? I didn't find another place for this information. Most of the given objects (e.g. mapping) only showed me information about the current page, but not the refering-page. I hope, this aren´t to many questions, but I really didn´t find any information on this topic.
