I tend to think it's either you NOT use DispatchAction if you have
different validation requirements for the same form. The validator ties to
only one form per action and since DispatchAction is still considered a
single action (with different delegated methods), then you are still bound
to use only one set of validation rules for that form.
Option 1
Use DispatchAction and implement your own validate() method for that
form
Option 2
Split your operations into different actions using the same form,
define different rules in the validation.xml and have your form extend
ValidatorActionForm like Peter suggested

Subject: Re: Struts Validator
I think what you are looking for is handled by configuring validation.xml
in this way:
<formset>
<form name="action1"> (maps to action path)
<field property="field1" ....
<field property="field2" ....
<field property="field3" ....
</form>
<form name="action2">
<field property="field1" ....
</form>
</formset>
Your Form bean should extend ValidatorActionForm. The Validator will only
validate fields configured for the given action. Hope this helps.

declarative validation functionality offered by the
Struts Validator package, but I have some reservations about how it works.
In my particular configuration, my application will use DispatchActions to
process common events.
In many cases I will use one ActionForm for all events being processed by a
particular ActionForm. Since I won't be validating all fields in all cases,
I want to only validate certain fields for a particular action mapping. The
only way I can tell how to do this is to use the page data member of
ValidatorActionForm to identify those fields that need be validated.
The problem I see with this, is ...
- for mapping A, I may want to validate field1, field2, and field3, and
- mapping B, I only want to validate field1, but
- mapping C, I want to validate field1 and field3.
Is this possible to do using the validation.xml file. That is, can you do
something like the following:
...
...
...
where 1 = mapping for A,
2 = mapping for B,
3 = mapping for C
If not, how is this possible? Is there a validator DTD I can reference?
