I use the validator framework to ensure that the Form property (type String) 
can be converted to BigDecimal/Date/int. 

If I reuse a Form I want to reuse these validations as well. This can be done 
if the validation is coupled with the form imho. 

No one is forced to use this approach however. You can implement the other one 
by creating a new BaseForm base class which has the a function with the same 
functionality as the ValidatorActionForm.validate(...) under a different 
name.  Set up the validator framework properly. This ensures client side 
validations, but the server side validation won't occure. Now call the 
renamed form's validation function in your BaseAction's validate method.
