Deepak, I think you have two options for generating subclasses. One is that you create a type available in your xsd for ActionForm and make all of your forms extensions of that type. The other option is to set:
# This property allows one to specify the super class of *all* # generated classes # org.exolab.castor.builder.superclass=ActionForm in the castorbuilder.properties to be the ActionForm class. However, this will cause all classes generated to extend the class you specify.
