Purpose of ValidatorActionForm vs ValidatorForm?
Why was the ValidatorActionForm designed?
The only difference is the latter uses mapping.getAttribute() for its
initValidator within the validate() method, while ValidatorActionForm uses
getPath().

The ValidatorActionForm validates based on the path of the
Action.
The ValidatorForm uses the name of the ActionForm.
In a situation where several Actions use the same form, you
may wish to perform different validations depending on which
Action is being performed. The ValidatorActionForm allows
that.
