When processing a <forward> declaration, for either a redirect or a forward, the
generated URL is actually a server-relative path like
("/myapp/myContextRelativeURL"), rather than an absolute URL.  It is your
browser that is converting that back into an absolute URL, by resolving it
against the URL to which the request was submitted.  It would be necessary to
modify Struts to generate absolute URLs in all cases to make this change, which
would simply increase the size of the generated page for all users.  Worse, it
would break the appliations of people whose proxy servers already handle the
redirection correctly.  Therefore, it seems like implementing this would not be
a good idea.

In addition, even if this change were done, it would still need to be configured
on a forward-by-forward basis -- in other words, it would be just as much work
as your current approach (using absolute URLs on the "href" attribute).
