Jeff, Do the pages reg.step1, reg.step2, and reg.step3 all do an html hidden tag for the page variable such as: <html:hidden name="page" value="X" />
Substitute X for the appropriate page number. Also, I think you have an infinite loop when you set the "/reg/registration" action to call it's own action upon validation failure (the input="..." attribute). Shouldn't you set it to reg.step1 if validation fails? I'm assuming reg.step1, reg.step2, and reg.step3 are tiles. Additionally, calling a *.do Struts action from within another struts action is not the wisest course of action UNLESS you are doing a redirect="true" on your forward. Without the redirect="true", Struts will perform the whole set of preprocessing again when the new *.do action is invoked. This repeats everything struts ALREADY performed to get to your first action. Essentially, it is a big waste of time/resources/cpu.
