i've only used jfreechart with struts2 (not portlets) and its more to do with
the way the result is returned than the action class itself.
in struts.xml i have
<result-type name="chart" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ChartResult"/>
and then referenced in action definition
<action name="GenerateChart" class="uk.co.acudev.actions.GenerateChart">
<result name="success" type="chart">
<param name="width">400</param>
<param name="height">400</param>
</result>
</action>
then in action the field chart will have my generated chart ready to be picked
up by result processing
private JFreeChart chart;
not sure of that helps
