On each form is a hidden page attribute. Each page in the wizard goes back to the same action. This makes validation easy, and next/back even easier. If next, then I forward to "page"+form.getPage()+1, if back then I subtract one. All my forwards are page1, page2, page3 etc. I have also used struts-workflow to lock a user into the wizard flow, so I dont' have to do that.
