Form Beans quick questions

Is is possible within the Struts framework to have multiple Form beans
defined for an action-mapping. This would be handy when trying to divide up
larger imput forms into reusable Form components. Any comments would be
appreciated.

Oops, fogot to say, that the large form bean can use the 'facade' pattern and essentially dispatch through to contained smaller/reuseable components...

  Consider using one large form bean, but put it in session scope. That way you can have many forms access the bean. I often use this when I have a 'workflow' to follow...
