So, did you also try this: http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/wizardaction.html If you did, did you find it counterintuitive? complex? not doing what you want? I would really appreciate the feedback. I tried Struts Workflow Extension before, I was not completely satisfied with it, because it is based on artificial steps, not on model state. I even wrote a short comparison: http://www.jroller.com/comments/javadujour/Weblog/spring_web_flow_vs_struts Also, with SWE you can use navigation buttons, and then wizard will bite you, telling that you cannot do it. But sometimes you can get SWE wizard out of sync.
