i see
I am looking to build something similar and I am thinking of managing this
through the action mappings.
I am hoping to manage this as follows using the same action and keeping the
form in the session.
I plan to read up on building wizard type forms but from my small knowledge
i think this wwould work
e.g.
<action path="/editPage1" forward="/editDataSet.do">
parameter="PAGE1"
type=".mo..web.EditAction"
name="DatabaseTypeForm"
scope="session"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/editPage2.do"/>
</action>
<action path="/editPage2" forward="/CriteriaEdit.jsp">
etc
</action>
<action path="/editPage3" forward="/FactorEdit.jsp">
etc
</action>
<action path="/editPage4" forward="/DataEdit.jsp">
etc
</action>

yes indeed, this will be cleaner and better then my solution. However I am
still stuck with the submit to different actions aspect, for which I used
the general controller.
