Hal,
Thanks, but still doesn't work - default is false anyway.
If I specifically grab the form I stick in the request object , and fill that
one, then my jsp will use that fine! BUT, Struts should use that one!!
Appreciate any other ideas...

I am not sure what the default is but you should specify redirect="false" if
you are passing things on the request object. That will cause a forward
instead of a redirect. If the default for redirect is true then the
/ShowLog.do action will be requested with a new request.
<forward name="success" path="/ShowLog.do" redirect="false" />
