form validation based on action and form name

           Summary: form validation based on action and form name
           Product: Struts
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW

ActionForms represent a composition of data entry elements from an HTML form to 
be submitted within an action for processing. With the current validation fwk I 
can define validation rules for a given form based on the form's name. With 
this approach it is not possible to reuse one form definition from the struts 
config file on multiple actions with different validation requirements within 
the same app. The way work around it is defining a new form-bean with a 
different name using the same ActionForm type. Could we enhance the validation 
to apply the rules based on the action path and the form name associated to a 
given action making the validation rules unique to a combination of Action + 
Form allowing for better reuse of the form-bean definitions.
