well when creating a struts action url, you can either use the built in tags 
or you can use the url generation spi 
 
if you want to use the url generation spi you will need to use the helper classes(<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&ca=portall2&uid=swg21265900">http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&
ca=portall2&uid=swg21265900</a> ) use the method to target an action . When creating the map you will need to do the following 
 
HashMap map = new HashMap(); 
String[] value1 = {""}; 
String[] value2 = {"spf_ActionListener"}; 
String[] value3 = {"!2fSearchResult.do"}; this must be your action name 
map.put("passedinvalue", value1); 
map.put("spf_ActionName", value2); 
map.put("spf_strutsAction", value3);
