Just sharing a simple test I just did.
It looks that you can't have two forms with the same name on one document.
I created a page with two forms with the same name, then checked how the
browser sees them with a quick javascript:
var result = "Forms in this document:\n\n";
for (var i=0; i < document.forms.length; i++) {
result = result + "document.forms[" + i + "]=" + document.forms[i] +
"\n";
result = result + "document.forms[" + i + "].name=" +
document.forms[i].name + "\n\n";
}
alert(result);
There was only one entry for the two similarly named forms. Checking the
fields of the form showed me that only the latest definition of a form with a
given name is recognized.
So, you should probably add a formbean declaration (with a different name)
for your action form, and also add another mapping for the same action. It
can be the same ActionForm and Action object, but would need different
mappings in struts-config.
