I think the easiest way is to actually set validate to false on your
action and do it manually first thing in your execute:
// check for null values if there are just display the page otherwise
ActionErrors errors = yourForm.validate (...);
If (!errors.isEmpty ()) { return input mapping }
// everything is ok
