struts2 action redirect to servlet with parameters

Question

I would like to find out if there is a way to redirect struts 2 action result to a servlet with the request parameters intact?

I am wondering if I can something similar like https://struts.apache.org/docs/dispatcher-result.html:

<result name="success" type="dispatcher">
  <param name="location">/MyServlet</param>
</result>

Struts2 is meant to be used with Actions.

When redirecting across actions with the redirectAction result, you can pass a fixed number of known parameters, assigning them both name and the value dynamically.

When redirecting to a Servlet with the redirect result, you can pass the parameters in the QueryString.

If you want to automatically grab an unknown number of parameters in the request and pass it to a Servlet, you should code it yourself. You're lucky though, I've already did it.

Can it be done using https://struts.apache.org/docs/dispatcher-result.html? – ilovetolearn Sep 05 '16 at 11:49
Dispatcher result, that is the default result, does dispatch a JSP; it does not redirect to anywhere – Andrea Ligios Sep 05 '16 at 12:49
I wanted to pass some parameters to my servlet via query string. How can I do so via the struts action result? – ilovetolearn Sep 06 '16 at 04:51
With the redirect result, or like RomanC suggested, by excluding a particular pattern from Struts2 filter and forwarding there with the dispatcher result. Both ways work – Andrea Ligios Sep 06 '16 at 07:53
