Sub forms have to be nested. They only exclude data from other subForms, not from the form.
<h:form> 1 <s:subForm id="a"> 2 <s:subForm id="b">3</s:subForm> <s:subForm id="c">4</s:subForm> </s:subForm> </h:form> 1: always submitted 2: submitted if "a" is specified 3: submitted if "b" is specified 4: submitted if "c" is specified I've only used it a little bit, but I think that is how it works.
