Hi Mohan
You can have one action form and one action class for different JSP
pages.But it would be a good design if all the JSP pages represent one
type of function in your application. A typical example would be a
Registration Module. Registration requires say around 2-3 JSP pages one
after the other. In this case you can have action form say
RegistrationForm.java and one Action class called RegistrationAction.java.
You can do the following in the struts-config.xml for such
<form-bean name="registrationForm"
type="somepackage.webapp.RegistrationForm">
for the form-bean declaration and
<action
path="/action/register"
type="somepackage.webapp.RegistrationAction"
name="registrationForm"
scope="session"
validate="false"
>
<forward name="input1" path="/forms/some1.jsp"/>
<forward name="input2" path="/forms/some2.jsp"/>
<forward name="success" path="/forms/some3.jsp"/>
</action>
for the action mappings part. You can have conditions in the Action class
to take you to the respective jsp page upon validation of each page.
-Good luck
