<action path="/showDaPage" type="package.path.to.Action"
name="ActionForm" input="/whereItCameFrom.do" validate="false">
            <forward name="success" path="page.jsp"></forward>
</action>

<action path="/mungDaPage" type="package.path.to.Action"
name="ActionForm" input="/showDaPage.do" validate="true">
            <forward name="success"
path="daPageWotMungedGood.jsp"></forward>
</action>

Note, that the type= is not accidently the same thing.  I don't know
how you tell the action if it's setting up the page, or processing the
page so can't help you there, but that's the gist of it.

The key here is that this maps a URI to a java class that extends the
Action class.  There is no law ( well except for maybe the Law of Common
Sense) against having more then one mapping to a single class.  In fact
the ForwardAction kind of depends on it.
