What parameters are you using for the path? My interpretation of the Struts code is that it adds the context path (and module) if the "path" starts with "/". If you don't want struts to do this, try specifying a path that doesn't start with "/".
I've tried this and it works, but I had to hardcode the full url: <action path="/strutstest" type="com.hkrabago.samples.actions.StrutsTestAction"> <forward name="redirectToYahoo" path="http://www.yahoo.com"; redirect="true"/> <forward name="redirectToOtherApp" path="http://localhost:8080/otherApp/JspTester.jsp"; redirect="true"/> </action> --- Marcella Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hubert, > > Thanks very much for your prompt suggestion :) I tried your first > suggestion, but got a 404 error.
