Thanks, Larry & James, I appreciate the feedback. Will proceed that way 
then.

I assume you are managing the wizard using your own action and 
mappings?
If so, I did a similar design for my product. Essentially, I had to
create a mapping for each step so that the input could be specified
properly. Then, each JSP posted to the proper step mapping. For 
example,
I had /wizard1, /wizard2, and /wizard3.. On the 2nd wizard page, I had
it post to /wizard2, whose mapping had an input="/my/wizard2.jsp" to
ensure it goes to the second step.. IN the validation framework, you 
can
specify the page number using a hidden field on each JSP, like hidden
name="page" value="2", and specify the same page number as an attribute
in the validation.xml file for your bean.

HTH,
James

Subject: REPOST: How to specify input to validating multi-page wizard?
I guess I should have indicated that I am letting the
validation framework handle this. Is my only choice for this
to turn validation off and explicitly call validate() in the
Action where I can then direct it to the appropriate wizard page?

Hello,

I have an Action for a multi-page wizard. I'm using
DynaValidatorForm.
What I'm having trouble with is this: if I submit a page
and it fails
due to validation rules, how can I direct it back to the "current"
page?
As you can see below, I've supplied input="sandbox.wizard.page1" to
give it the first page to fall back to, but that's no good
if the user
makes it past the first page and fails on the second. ('d want to
display the second page there and let them try again)
If I omit the input parameter, I get (as expected):

	No input attribute for mapping path /wizard

Any ideas?

TIA,

my struts-config.xml snippet below:

        <action path="/wizard"
                type="torch.webapp.sandbox.action.WizardAction"
                name="wizardForm"
                scope="request"
                validate="true">
            <forward name="failure"
                     path="/do/go2wizard">
            </forward>
            <forward name="page1"
                     path="sandbox.wizard.page1">
            </forward>
            <forward name="page2"
                     path="sandbox.wizard.page2">
            </forward>
            <forward name="done"
                     path="/do/wizard/success">
            </forward>
        </action>
        <action path="/go2wizard"
                parameter="sandbox.wizard.page1"
                validate="false"
                name="wizardForm"

                name="wizardSuccessForm"
                type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction">
