Yansheng, Since ActionForms are intended to be reused across multiple actions, you might have different validation requirements depending on the context that the ActionForm is being used.
One Action might require a certain field but that field may not be required for another Action that is using the same ActionForm. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Yansheng Lin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 11:52 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Difference between ValidatorForm and ValidatorActionForm? I kind of understand it. ValidatorForm validates the form and ValidatorActionForm validates the form based on action path. But why would you prefer one over the other? I mean you can achieve almost the same effect with either.
