The action-per-jsp page is just one way to do things. Another is to use wildcard actions in your struts.xml page. Your input pages would all have to employ the same naming convention, as would the actions called by each of those pages. Check out the wildcard-mappings link and you'll see what I mean. http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.2/docs/wildcard-mappings.html

So are you saying that the struts2 validation framework requires one Action per JSP page? If so, it seems like that needs to be included in the "full disclosure" section of the "validation" confluence page :-) If I don't want to go that route (1 Action : 1 JSP), are there any alternatives short of writing my own validation framework?
