What I want to say is normally SubmitFormAction will
return a jsp page, but this returned jsp page(let's
call it form2.jsp) also needs initialize, so route
will be:
ShowFormAction->form.jsp->SubmitFormAction->ShowForm2Action->for2.jsp->SubmitForm2Action
so every submit action will return an action instead
of a jsp page. potentially the number of actions
double the number of form jsps. what I do in my own
models, my handler handles both initialize and
process.

ShowFormAction->form.jsp->SubmitFormAction.

For my case, the confirmation.jsp is not really form,
it just shows all the information in text, ie, no
input text box, only text; no selection list, only
show waht user selected. I guess I have to make the
form to be session scope?
