Well, I was looking at SendConfirmationEmail as an action/view inside the chain, not as a chain in and of itself. I can see a lot of power in the ability to, say, do something like this (poorly thought out, I just got up): SubscribeToList.action=Subscribe Subscribe.success=SendConfirmationEmail.jsp SendConfirmationEmail.jsp.success=ShowStatus.jsp Yeah, I know, stop puking. I JUST got up, and this doesn't address ANYTHING like "where does the status for SendConfirmationEmail come from?" or anything like that. Maybe this whole idea should be scrapped, especially based on this example... but the idea is that the SCE here is a "view" seen by sendmail, and the ShowStatus is the "view" seen by the client browser.
