I would have thought that something as simple as a wizard would be easily doable...I would like to keep away from the session as much as possible...
I am using one action for the whole flow, but many action mappings... Something like this so far... <action name="page1" .../> <action name="page1Submit" .../> <action name="page2" .../> <action name="page2Submit .../> <action name="page3" .../> <action name="page3Submit .../> One action for the view (jsp), and one action for the submit of it...Not sure if this is the best way to go about it, and even with this way, I am having some problems with validation and redirecting to the correct input page, etc etc... Any other suggestions or tips are appreciated...
