Perhaps I'm not getting it, but...
Why couldn't you just add target="_blank" to your form? Then, it would be submitted to your Struts Action, and the result (a JSP rendering I presume) would go to the new window.
If you need a little more control, another option is to make your page a frameset. Create one of your frames with a size of 0. Then, submit your form as usual, but target that hidden frame. In your JSP, include an onLoad handler for the page that calls back to the frame that submitted the form to do your window open.
One last option is to not actually submit the form. Instead, via JavaScript as a result of your Submit button being clicked, create a query string (i.e., ?name1=val1&nam2=val2 and so on), then do your usual JavaScript window.open, but for the URL you populate the window with, make it your Action, with the query string you constructed appended. I actually do exactly this in one application I wrote.
Just some ideas to explore. Let me know if you need further details to implement these...

Hi
I have a form which I am using javascript to get information from the form
and open up a new popup window with information. This is causing limitations
on the information I am passing through.
I want to pass the information through a Struts action and have Struts then pass the information back and populate the popup window. I can't figure out how to do this. The only way I can think of at the moment is to store information in session, and pass control back to form page with a parameter that would tell it to open a pop-up window and get the information from the session. I'm thinking there is probably an easier way to do this.
Thanks Angharad
