Description

When you add the following bean to a Spring-Struts application:
<jee:jndi-lookup jndi-name="someName" id="currentEnvironment" default-value="XXXX" />

Whenever you have an action with a redirectAction type, Struts will try to redirect you to:
http://localhost:8080/XXXX/index!XXXX.action#XXXX

This happens because the 3 String argument constructor for ServletActionRedirectResult will set action, method and namespace to whatever value is defined for that bean (XXXX in the example, if you don't have a someName JDNI property).

This only happens when you let struts manage ServletActionRedirectResult. If you add the following Spring bean:
<bean id="myRedirect" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ServletActionRedirectResult"
scope="prototype" autowire="byName">
</bean>

and add a <result-type name="myRedirect" class="myRedirect" /> result type, the problem doesn't appear.

I've added a testCase for you to confirm.
