+1000! The first time I looked at these to figure out why we had two, I actually thought they were the same. It wasn't until I really studied the Javadocs that I realised the difference. (Yay for Javadocs!) I'm still not clear, though, on why we actually *need* two different mechanisms.
If one wanted to use the same form bean in different cases, one might have different validation rules. For example, you might have a user ID be required when creating a record, but not even have it editable when editing the record. By associating your validation with the submission path instead of the form bean name, you can use the same form bean with different validation rules.
I personally haven't used this a lot, but I can see the justification.
