Nicolas, Do you mean this :
<action path="/ShowEmployeeDetail" type="org.ajo.EmployeeAction" name="EmployeeForm" validate="false" scope="request"> <forward name="continue" path="/EmployeeDetail.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/EditEmployeeDetail" type="org.ajo.EmployeeAction" name="EmployeeForm" validate="true" input="EmployeeDetail.jsp" scope="request"> <forward name="continue" path="/EmployeeDetail.jsp"/> </action> So, when I click on an employee name in may list I will call /ShowEmployeeDetail.do and I define the edit form of EmployeeDetail.jsp like this : <form action="/EditEmployeeDetail" > Like this I don't need to change my actual Action class... Is it well-designed like this?
