Well, I had tried it before just like you are saying... Two actions use the same ActionForm (a DynaValidatorForm defined with request scope). The first Action sets a property in the ActionForm and forwards to another Action (using a local <forward name="..." path="..."/> -- with no redirect=true this should be forwarding, right?!). The problem is the second Action received the ActionForm without the property set...
Due to time constraints I had to resort to an ugly bypass to the ActionForms by setting an attribute directly in the request (in the first Action) and verifying the existence of the attribute (in the second Action). Any thoughts on why this wasn't working?
