I don't think I made myself clear. I can't set the input of the "process" action to the jsp of the prepare action because in the prepare action I get data from the db to fill a listbox.
If I used your solution in case of a validation error my list box would not be filled. But if I set the input to the "prepare" action the values the user entered would be resetted to the values in the db. That's way I need to know, in the prepare action, if I'm coming from a validation error or a simple "GET". Did I make myself clearer?
