Hi, Jean. Maybe I missed a bit, but do you not always have page flow coded in JSP AND Action classes?
In the action the server decides what to do with user input and what page to go next. This page will be presented to the user. There may be several buttons on it allowing the user to choose how pageflow continues. So even if you think you can read module switching definitions from your config files, there will be some decision necessary WHEN to switch the module. And IMO this resides either in Action class or (by giving the user the choice) in JSP.
