I think the only way you can have one ActionForm reuse another
ActionForm is to include the second ActionForm as a property of the
first. For example, if you have a standard AddressActionForm that
includes validation rules for street, city, state, postal code, etc.
you can use this as a property in your PersonActionForm and your
CompanyActionForm.
public AddressActionForm getAddress() { return this.addressForm; }
public void setAddress(AddressActionForm newAddress) {
this.addressForm = newAddress; }
Then, in the validate() method in PersonActionForm and
CompanyActionForm, you'll need to call this.addressForm.validate().
