Thanks Jeff and Laurie and excuse me for my slow understanding :) I understand what you said now :)

You weren't unclear, but Jeff's response was correct. He pointed out that 
your input can be an action, which can then do whatever you need, instead 
of a JSP. You just need to change your action mapping so the 'input' 
attribute names the mapping for your AddProviderAction rather than pointing 
at a JSP directly.
