RE: data entry screen with more then one jsp page

Ashish,

Check out the validation.xml page="NUMBER" attribute.  See "Multi Page
Forms" at: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html

Additionally, handling page navigation depends on how you set it up.

If you set up one action per page but using the same validation.xml form,
you could set an href with the url and the page=1 (or page=3, etc.)
parameter.

If you setup distinct actions per page, you might have to hard-code the
action in the JSP as a button or href labeled "next" or "previous".

Navigation is your choice and very flexible.

Heck, you could even use tiles with a Controller so one Action does
everything and the controller simply inserts the correct JSP for the center
of the form based on the page attribute.  I.E. page #1 shows input.jsp, page
#2 shows selections.jsp, page #3 shows countries.jsp, etc.  See the Tiles
Advanced Features PDF on the Struts site (bottom of the Tiles UserGuide
section) for more information on Tiles and Controllers.

Just keep in mind to use the appropriate "page" attribute with the
html:javascript tag IF you use client-side validation.

Regards,
David
