Answer 1

yes we can more than two forms in jsp. Each form can have different or same actions.

Answer 2

That would be multiple normal forms to a JSP, but he is asking about Strut action forms. If you want to have clean your MVC model I would recommend 1 action form per view, but its possible to have more than one action form, example, multiple data forms in a single page, or even a single button can trigger a different action, that some controller need to handle.
