I will answer your question after clarifying BaTien's failure to respond to your question and his shameless promotion of another product through subterfuge. He is creating confusion. That is the whole point of Struts-Shale.
Please be forewarned that Struts-Shale is not Struts. Struts-Shale is an entirely different product, something like an incipient version of Tapestry, which has nothing in common with Struts except it too is a framework. BaTien is not being completely fair or honest with you in his response. He is, in effect, trying to get you to seek a solution that has nothing to do with your initial inquiry, in order to promote his love for JSF, which is antithetical to Struts as we know it.
The "we" BaTien talks about, in my opinion, is a small group of zealots trying to save a fairly old framework idea, JSF, from the trash heap.
Now -- YOUR QUESTION.
While you may be correct in BaTien's intentions, he does mention a worthwhile project: Spring Web Flow. This is a web flow (wizard) framework that was developed on top of Struts initially and can very much be used with Struts.

There is a sample application (BirthDate) in Spring's CVS and it will be a part of a PR2 release on Sunday night. I plan on looking at Spring Web Flow this weekend and integrating into a Struts project next week.

I would need some clarification of your question to answer it. What
do you mean by "the web flow will take the user to all the
applications necessary to fulfill
the service"? User navigation information is very easy to save to a database.

Hi
I have a new project were I have to create an application that is a web flow of multiple standalone applications. Basically the user picks a service and the web flow will take the user to all the applications necessary to fulfill the service. We want to be able to save in a database the user navigation information. Has anybody done something like this with struts?

I have not done this. But this is the direction we are heading to. Craig, the inventor of Struts Commons-Chain and Struts-Shale, has proposed a DialogController and is trying to incorporate features of Spring Web Flow.
I found it is very useful as a state engine. You may take a look at Struts-Shale. I am also interest to what you are doing in this area.
