Thanks Musachy for your prompt response. Makes total sense.
However, I now tried the following based on your reply.... GetAction.execute() returns ActionSupport.SUCCESS. forwards to.... get-success.jsp (renamed get.jsp, so that it would not be found in the instance below) SaveAction.execute() returns "get" (in hopes of chaining GetAction) However, after SaveAction.execute(), I get an exception stating that the result "get" is not found. "No result defined for action com.company.web.actions.SaveAction and result get" Note that, both of these guys are in the same package, and therefore in the same namespace. Through the config-browser, I did verify that "get" is not one of the listed result types not found.
