You can't control validation from within a form

I've actually already implemented what you're suggesting.  But I like the 
approach I suggested in my original post for a couple of reasons:

(1) if shouldValidate() were executed in RequestProcessor rather than in the 
validate() method of a subclass of ActionForm(), life is easier in terms of 
backward compatibility.

(2) I think my suggestion is just a generalization of the check for cancelled 
transactions that already exists in RequestProcessor.processValidate().  In 
fact, the check to see if the transaction is cancelled should probably be the 
default implementation of shouldValidate().

(3) It's just more elegant to put this logic in processValidate() than to do 
some tricky subclassing and overriding.  (ok, so it's not that tricky... but 
it's certainly less pretty).

Anyway, as I mentioned above, I've already implemented a shouldValidate() 
structure, but I'd like it better if it were implemented in the manner I 
suggested in my original post.  So, yeah, I'm looking out for my own interests 
here, but I think there are benefits for the community at large.
