Depends on your design. Generally, no.

As you like.

Chaining like this is frowned upon and often can be avoided.

"Input" property does not define an input page, it defines an error
page. Struts architecture does not care where input is submitted from,
all it cares is what's in the request.

You should display /pages/selectTemplate.jsp with another action, so
selectTemplate.jsp would be output page for that action, and
editTemplateX.jsp would be output pages for EditAction. Again, there
are NO input pages in Struts.
