'nesting' another action

[Akos Maroy]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to 'nest' a struts action into another. 
Here's what I'm thinking about:

Suppose I have a form for inserting some data (of type A), and that it 
works the following way. There are three actions involved, namely:

A_input.do: displays the input form, with the form action set to
            A_save.do
A_save.do: - saves the input data and sends a redirect to A_show.do with
             the id of the saved data (forwards to "success")
           - on validation errors, redirects to A_input.do
A_show.do: - shows the data with id supplied
             (loads data based on the id directly from the persistent
              store, does not use FormBean data)
now let's suppose that I have another page, where I want to have the 
possibility of 'nesting' the above input method. let's suppose that I 
have some type B, for which one or more of type A may be added. for 
this, I need to get input for data type A, and after it has been saved 
properly, have to get the id of the newly saved A, so that I can 
associate it with B. this would look like:

B_show.do: displays information on data of type B, with a link for
           the possibility of 'adding data of type A to B', linking to
           A_input.do
suppose I simply forward to A_input.do, but then after proper data input 
it would end up at A_show.do, which is not good. what I need is that it 
should 'come back' to:

B_addedA.do: after a successful new insert of A, and the id of this A,
             this action associates this new A with B. then redirects to
             B_show.do
basically what I need is a way of 'calling' A_input.do with a different 
set of ActionMapping, so that A_save.do on "success" would not go to 
A_show.do, but to B_addedA.do. is this possible somehow?
