I have not attempted what you are trying to do yet but I am
very soon. So while I was thinking about it...
For the example you gave should you have used requiredif instead
of required as the depends value?
Also, I think it might be easier to Use a DynaValidatorActionForm
and then have validation done like so:
Assume your ActionForm in session scope.
validation.xml:
<form name="/pageOne">
<field property="field1" depends="required" />
<field property="field2" depends="required" />
<field property="field3" depends="required" />
</form>
<form name="/pageTwo">
<field property="field4" depends="required" />
<field property="field5" depends="required" />
<field property="field6" depends="required" />
</form>
<form name="/pageThree">
<field property="field7" depends="required" />
<field property="field8" depends="required" />
<field property="field9" depends="required" />
</form>
struts config:
<action path="/pageOne"
name="theForm"
... />
<action path="/pageTwo"
name="theForm"
... />
<action path="/pageThree"
name="theForm"
... />
Since the ValidatorActionForm family validates per action
and the ValidatorForm family validates per form won't this
work?

Subject: Re: conditional validation in validation.xml
The Validator has some concept with the page attribute. If you look at
the
"Multi Page Form" section you get a hint at it:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html
In your jsp you need an element called page. I usually just put a
static
hidden tag:
<html:hidden property="page" value="2"/>
Then in your validation.xml you associated a page number with the
element:
<field property="user.firstName" depends="required" page="2"/>
So what the validator does is only validate the field if the page
attribute
is >=.
So for this example above... The "user.firstName" field would NOT be
validated on page 1, but would be validated on page 2, page 3, etc.
