Peter, the s:form tag accepts nested s:param tags (just like s:url or
s:link). You can generate the URL you want using those. Also note the use of
s:form's beanclass attribute instead of action, which saves you from having
to generate the URL in your ActionBean.
<s:form beanclass="${actionBean.class}">
<s:param name="challengeName" value="${actionBean.challengeName}" />
<s:param name="toolName" value="${actionBean.toolName}" />
<s:param name="questName" value="${actionBean.questName}" /> ...
