Description

I am placing a form to the same action multiple time each with different hidden attributes:

<s:form action="myAction">
  <s:hidden name="enabled" value="true"/>
  <s:submit value="Enable" />
</s:form>
<s:form action="myAction">
  <s:hidden name="enabled" value="false"/>
  <s:submit value="Disable" />
</s:form>

Conceptually there should be no problem with this. However, the form's @id and @name attributes are not rendered unique. Struts should use a global counter to append a counter to the names of each attribute automatically. If the user wants to override these attributes explicitly, that should be allowed.
