If I understand what you're asking, try setting validate="false" in your action mapping so that validation is deferred to your action. Otherwise, Struts will perform validation automatically and, as you've noticed, never invoke your action if there are errors.
Another option would be to keep validate="true" (that's actually it's default value), but change input="/failure.jsp" (or wherever else you want to forward upon validation errors - it can even be another action).
