Now if this is the case, would it not be better to have the ActionForm as basically a dum data holder and have the validation method in the Action classes instead? The strus-config.xml file could contain all the required declarative validation, transformation and mapping info, and the Action class could contain any validation, transformation, and mapping operations that were too complicated to be set up declaratively.
I agree totally and I call my validation from my Action classes. Example here (at the end) http://reumann.net/struts/articles/request_lists.jsp
(Note in that example, I call the form's validate method from my Action, but I only do that in the example to show that it can be done and to keep it simple. In practice I think it's much better to not even do the validation in the ActionForm's validate method - even if you are just invoking that method from elsewhere.)
