Do use the method below in my Action object? And then use different Forwards depending on whether the result is to be in HTML or XML? Or do I check in the JSP what my content-type is set to and output the correct output?
Hi Eric,
yes, exactly. I would execute a block of code conditionally in my Action depending on whether you want HTML or XML. In that block you can set the content type via the snippet I gave you below and fetch the appropriate forward.
I wouldn't use the content-type setting as a switch signal to the JSP, since it's possible to set it in other ways, e.g. in the config, so you may get unpredicted results.

Is there a way I can change the page forwarded in the Forward depending on some flag or property?!
Or is there someway I can set the JSP to output text/html or text/xml depending on some flag or property (and obviously generate the correct section based on the flag)?
response.setHeader("Content-type", "text/xml");
