Oh, not a sin :) I think its the first step on the road to
enlightenment :)
I tried a few weeks ago to get Velocity working in Struts - seems to
work fine, but I wasn't including the requests like you were - I was
using a distinct forward from a servlet w/o no output to a servlet that
did the velocity output, so it wasn't an issue.

I wouldn't think so. We probably shouldn't be closing it anyway? I
would assume that the servlet running should take care of that. I will
look into it to see if the spec says anything. I
