Well, I've done the proof of concept for you, so you can be SURE it works :)

Yes. I've adapted it for my purposes a bit, but that's the concept.
Also, in my case, I added a method called
   addForwardParameter(request, key, value)
to my BaseAction. That stores an arraylist of parameters in a request
attribute.
At the end of my BaseAction, I grab the forward that has been given. If
parameters exist, I create a new ParameterActionForward, add on the
parameters, and return it. Easy as pie.

So my screen action code looks something like:

if (command.equals(COMMAND_SAVE)) {
	try {
		save(request, bean, connection);
		setForward(request, FORWARD_SAVE);
		addForwardParameter(request, RECORD_ID, bean.getID());
		addMessage(request, "save.success");
	} catch (MyBoException e) {
		setForward(request, FORWARD_SAVEFAILURE);
	}
}
