I think it is necessary to include a input property in the action element,
so if the data is invalid the controller can recall the form file (or
tiles action).
<action
path="/nameOfAction"
name="nameOfForm"
type="package.package.class"
validate="true"
input="/file.jsp OR .tiles.action" >
<forward name="key" path="file.jsp OR .tiles.action"/>
</action>
