One thing I should add is that the mechanism for passing checked
checkboxes is in place and works fine (for Add, Delete &
Reject),
via the same Java class ExecuteCDAAction.

My main question is whether there is some mechanism in sitemap
allowing page iteration (e.g. conditional loop) or
should I use some Java mechanism for that, 
e.g. for loop with servlet's redirect or maybe call some
method recursively ?

Sorry for the newbie question.

Any help is very appreciated.

TIA,
Oleg.
