DynaValidatorForm requires you to use the form bean name in your validator-rules.xml; DynaValidatorActionForm allows you to use the name of your action in your validator-rules.xml. I tend to use DynaValidatorActionForm since I use a fairly course-grained form bean; this allows me to only validate those fields that relate to a specific action. Using the DynaValidatorForm would require me to have several form beans where I only need one.

Judging from the Javadoc it looks like DynaValidatorActionForm overrides validate method of DynaValidatorForm, but the Javadoc does not indicate what is different in the implementation of DynaValidatorActionForm's validate implementation. Does anyone know? I looked at the source, and the method implementations look identical. Are there future plans that will make them different? I am just trying to decide which one to use. All Struts articles that mention these 2 classes are super vague about which one to use. They just say use one or the other. But when should I prefer to use one or the other?
