It comes down to a question... Are you trying to post to an application in order to get some result, in which case you could just use the standard java.net.* package to do so, or are you actually trying to redirect the user's browser to an outside application?

I suspect, based on what you wrote, that your trying to do the later... While I wouldn't bet the house on it, I'm relatively sure there's no easy answer, Struts-based or not. So, time to think outside the box a bit...

Could you simply direct the browser to a JSP that has nothing in it but some JavaScript that, in response to the onLoad event, submits a form, which of course would have your parameters in it? This could submit to the outside application, and you'd get what you want I think. Can you see, based on what you know of your application, why that wouldn't work?

I don't think there's anything built in to Struts to do this, but maybe
there's something in one of the commons projects.

Here's an article that you could follow to create your own method.
