Egg Zackly, Ricardo.  Whay use an ActionForm here and why use 
DispatchAction.  Looks to me like you just want something like 
ForwardAction.


    public ActionForward execute(
        ActionMapping mapping,
        ActionForm form,
        HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response)
        throws Exception {

        // Create a RequestDispatcher the corresponding resource
        String path = mapping.getParameter();

        if (path == null) {
            throw new ServletException(messages.getMessage("forward.path"));
        }

        // Let the controller handle the request
        ActionForward retVal = new ActionForward(path);
        retVal.setContextRelative(true);

        return retVal;
    }
