I don't think you understanding of Chain result type is correct. The
type="chain" is part of the result type, it wont effect other results, each
result is configured independently.
You should be able to configure a chain result for just result of 'input'
like this:
<action name="saveInitConsiderationEval"
class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction"
method="saveInitConsiderationEval">
<interceptor-ref name="redirectInput"/>
<result name="success" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationType
</result>
<result name="input" type="chain">
determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput
</result>
</action>
The only other thing is your interceptor stack 'redirectInput' you haven't
shown what it is.
