How would struts know which mapping I wanted to go to in the case of validation errors? Would I just add a forward with the same name as the input form or something?

I think this would be ideal for me and easy to fit into my current architecture. It gives the best of both worlds, I can still use completely automated validation for any form that doesn't require me to preload data, and still use the framework on those that do. I could just check to see if there are any errors and call my setup() method in my action to build the page context before I forward. If you happen to know the answers to my questions in the first section above, I'd still be curious just to learn a bit more about struts, even though I'll likely adopt the 2nd approach.
