Try changing step 5 to the following;
<forward name="step5" path="http://cnn.com/"; redirect="true"/>
The javadoc for the ActionForward class says the path should be the
"Context-relative URI to which control should be forwarded, or an absolute
or relative URI to which control should be redirected". Your path is
absolute so I think you will need to use a redirect rather than a forward.

> Hi,

> I have a wizard-style app that I've configured in my
> struts-config.xml as below. Not sure I like it yet,
> but I have my Action class send the user to the next
> JSP page each time the user hits the 'Next' button
> (design swiped from msg in this group). When they're
> finished, I wish to send them to a page outside the

> The error msg I get is:
> 2001-05-16 11:02:38 - Ctx( /MyApp ): 500 R( /MyApp +
> /step1.do + null) Cannot get request dispatcher for
> path http://cnn.com/
> 2001-05-16 11:02:38 - Ctx( /MyApp ): Handler null null
