The exception will not persist across the redirect unless you were to save
it in the session. If you want to do this then you could take a look at [1]
RedirectMessageInterceptor for an example of how to saveand retrieve the
exception in the session.
However, what I do to handle exceptions is have a global result "error"
which just goes to a jsp page.
<global-results>
<result name="error">/struts/Error.jsp</result>
</global-results>
In the Error.jsp page I use some ognl to call a method "notifyAdmiin()" and
pass it the exception.
<%-- Dummy expression to notify the admin --%>
<s:if test="notifyAdmin(exception)"></s:if>
I can than do any handling of the exception in my notifyAdmin() method, this
method is in my base Action class so is available from all actions.
