I've been having some problems with ActionMessages created during execution of an action which didn't display, and I found out that my problems were due to my forwards having redirect=true in struts-config.xml.
Since the default behavior is redirect=false, I've been thinking about which benefits can one have using redirect=true and I couldn't find any answer. Does anyone know when and why redirect=true should be used in action forwards?
it prevents the 'double submit problem'
Never show pages in response to POST
Always load pages using GET
Navigate from POST to GET using REDIRECT
