I'm not completely sure I understand your question, but if your simply asking if one Action call forward to another, the answer is yes. This is commonly referred to as "Action Chaining". If it's a forward, you'll be using the same request object, so anything in there will be present for the second Action. If it's a redirect, that won't be true. One Action can also directly call methods on another if you wish, it's just a normal class.
If what you mean is can you do a POST to a URL (which might just happen to be to an Action in the same webapp) from an Action, the answer isn't Struts-specific... it's just some network coding as you might normally do from a simple Java app. I'd suggest looking at the Commons packages to do this, it will save you time and trouble, but in the end it's simply spawning a new request from within an Action, waiting for a response and doing something with it. As for a Please Wait display, have a look at the Wiki, there is an entry for doing that which looked rather interesting. -- Frank W.
