After the ActionServlet initializes the modules from the struts-config file, a freeze() is placed on the ModuleConfig which includes the ActionForwards elements. As a result any subsequent change to the actionForward's path is not possible.
For the scenario you describe I usually define one forward element in the struts-config mapping for the fail validate case (probably just a URI back to the Logon JSP itself, and another forward for the success case (probably an action call which display the next page and any prepopulated form-bean info). Hope that helps.
