you are thinking like request dispatch? i think the idea is that processAction() does not generate content, doing an RD doesn't make any sense. what does it mean for that servlet to write to the stream?
of course, you are free to use tools like HttpClient to make http connections from processAction(), but i am guessing that is not what you are looking for.

the portlet implementation in portal needs to include jdom in every portlet web application. jdom.jar gets injected when the portlet web app is deployed. if you're using PS 6.x, that's through pdeploy. you can look in the web app's deployed directly and see that jar.
so how are you getting jdom into your portlet app? adding it manually? if so, you may be ending up with two jdom jars of potentially different versions ... or at least not the version you expect.
