Workaround? You speak as if it is broken, when it is behaving as it should.
If you look at the stack while inside the error page, you will see your chain of filters on the stack. They've already done the request side and are now waiting for chain.doFilter(request, response) to return. If you are looking to redirect all 404/not found pages to your default page, then you can do that (using Struts) by marking portal.do as the default mapping. And, you can have a home/default action with a <forward name="home" path="/portal.do" redirect="true"/>. This action can be as simple as <action path="/NotFound" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="home"/> And then, in your web.xml, use /NotFound as the target of your error page. At any rate, setting the 'redirect="true"' attribute on the forward will cause the struts controller to sendRedirect() instead of forward().

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured out but is there a workaround for that ?
