Not necessarily - you can use one ActionForm to collect data from
several HTML forms, for use in a wizard-like situation. Also you have
DynaForms, which don't need a class at all - they're just defined in the
struts-config.xml. Being able to subclass forms is also helpful, for
example:
PreferredCustomerForm extends BasicCustomerForm {
private String goldMembershipId;
...etc...
