I think that you can. The validating action should return some result' value
to the sitemap or 'null' in case of error, which can be used something like
this:
...
<map:act type="xmlform-validate">
<map:redirect-to uri="cocoon://success.html" />
</map:act>
<map:redirect-to uri="cocoon://my-form.html" />
...
Ivelin, what would you say to this? Is the above correct? Or you are using
'success/error' pair as the validation result? In this case a selector
should be used (<map:select .../>) to choose the next page.
