Sorry to be a pain about this, but I'm still missing something here. The suggestion below was not so bad, for a confirmation screen. It's acceptable for all forms needing confirmation to extend a ConfirmForm.
There are, however, situations where the second screen really has nothing to do with the first. For example, an Order screen and an OrderItem screen. When navigating from Order to OrderItem, I should not go directly to OrderItem.jsp for two reasons. The OrderItemForm is unrelated to the OrderForm and should not be part of the OrderForm object. Given this, it *could* still be ok to go to OrderItem.jsp when it uses it's own Form object, but not if you need to pass through OrderItemAction to verify the user is logged in. The other options are action chaining from the OrderAction to the OrderItem mapping, or linking from the Order.jsp to the OrderItem mapping, both of which are considered bad.
