I can do those things, but forwarding is not a problem. What I am trying to do is redirect. Even though I give 'redirect="true"' (as shown in original post) struts does a forward. I can tell by the URL shown in the browser, as well as reloading which posts to newUser.do whereas I want it to go to the confirmation page (what I want is the typical pattern to avoid reloading the page doing a duplicate post, in this case creating a new user twice)

That seems kinda redundant to me ;-) Just use the ForwardAction that
comes with Struts:
<action path="..." type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="page.newUserForm"/>
I think you can also do something like this,
<action path="..." forward="page.newUserForm"/>
Not sure about that, though.
