Thanks Cedric, Danny, James for all of your help. I understand what you are saying (re:forwards/includes).
As a test I modified the struts 1.02 ActionServlet (I love OSS:-)) to check response.isCommitted() and do a forward or include accordingly. This works great in Tomcat. Unfortunately it does not work in WL6.1 SP3. The WL response object seems to always isCommitted==false so I never do an include and it never works :-/. Oh well, I guess I'll have to do the thing I was dreading most, re-writing the whole site templating. Ugh. Thanks again for the quick and knowledgeable response!!

The problem is that Struts RequestProcessor do a forward in response to the <forward> in the config file. If you use the Tiles servlet, your code should work because the TilesRequestProcessor check if the response has already been committed. If yes, TilesRequestProcessor do an include instead of a forward. To be short, use the TilesRequestProcessor, and it should work ;-).
