It would be possible, but I prefer to avoid statics as much as possible
(I know there are some already, but I don't really like it). If statics
are introduced there should be a really really good reason for it.

ActionSupport (and thus ActionFormSupport) already get their action
names through the "setAction" method. If you don't want to subclass
*Support classes you can add "setAction(String)" yourself. The
Dispatcher will treat this as a request for the action name to be
passed.
