Thanks for the help on this guys. It was good to know people had it working.
I've got it to work now. The reason it wasn't working was that for all secure pages I use a ssl filter which takes any request mapped like "/secure" and sends it over ssl. For example, if I want to send the info for the first jsp I send it to: <html:form action="/secure/validateStep1.jspa" the weird thing is - the form object isn't staying in session scope if I use the ssl filter and so the second page's validation was failing because the object wasn't in session scope anymore. However, once I removed the "secure" it works fine. Reading other threads, I think this might be to do with a redirect ( if the filter is doing a re-direct, then a new http request might be getting created and thus a new form object gets created ) Anyway, thanks for all the help, and if anyone knows how I could continue using the filter and keep the form object in session scope I'd really appreciate any ideas!
