What about having an action mapping like this:
<action path="/initialWhateverActionThatWas"
forward="/whateverActionThatWas.do?type=initial" />
or maybe (better?) in your original action mapping just a forward for each
one like:
<action
...
<forward name="successInitial"
path="/public/registerSuccess.html?type=initial"/>
<forward name="successNext"
path="/public/registerSuccess.html?type=next"/>
</action>
