I use the RequestDispatcher without a problem. I don't believe struts does commits (I think I read something about tiles making commits however).

It is good to know I'm not going mad - I searched the archives but couldn't find anything. I tried both request.getRequestDispatcher.forward and response.sendRedirect but in both cases I got an IllegalStateException because the response was already committed. I haven't done anything to commit the response in my controller, I think, so I assumed that the struts framework had done so. Is this assumption correct do you know? Thanks again for your help.
