While you are at it, I suggest you may consider dynamic Forms, DynaActionForm, or Map backed forms, they give you ways to handle form's properties without even knowing the the property names at development time.
Its worth trying.

Ok, sounds like a good idea, my next question would be how do I get the data set in the first form from the execute method of my action?
Various ways. You can set all the properties individually or use BeanUtils to copy them from some other object into your form. In execute...
FormBeanName myForm = (FormBeanName )form; myForm.setWhatever(....)
or simply if you need to copy the data from a value object into your form
FormBeanName myForm = (FormBeanName )form; BeanUtils.copyProperties( myForm, myValueObject);
