Perhaps a bit of "theory" is what you need.  When you return a
resource such as a file from an Action with a null as the value of the
ActionFoward, you do so because the action is called FROM the response
or the page which has already been committed and presented to the
client.  The call to the action needs to reflect this.  For example,
if the file is an image then it might be made as follows <img
src='getImage.do?image=simily_face'>.  When you return the resource as
Paul suggests, then the imaged is IN the response or the page which is
committed or presented to the client.  For log presentation, you might
want to use a file download.  My last submission was a bit mixed up on
this.  So, there are three options:

file download of log file.
browser presentation of log file (Paul)
streamed presentation of log file on the browser (Matt)

I am not sure what the page code is for the streamed presentation of
the log file on the browser and would like to see how you do that
myself, Matt.  It is probably obvious and I am going to hit my
forehead with a piece of cake after seeing it.
