Consider "standard" for Struts pre/post actions. You have showForm.do
-> JSP -> submitForm.do -> smthElse.do.
The preceding action for smthElse.do is submitForm.do, so calling it
does not make sense, since it would try to submit a non-existent form.
By the way, your advice would work great with Struts Dialogs, where
each dialog, that is, a web resource, is controlled by one action
only.
Apparently, in "standard" approach with pre/post actions it makes
sense only to store pre-actions, that is, the rendering actions. In
the case above it would be "showForm.do".
