the first you must add the page attribute in your form bean
<form-bean name="processAdditionalForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property initial="0" name="calculationType"
type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="isTradeUnion" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="isDecret" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property initial="0" name="page" type="java.lang.Integer" />
</form-bean>
and change validation.xml like
<form name="processAdditionalForm">
<field
property="calculationType"
depends="required,integer" page="1">
<arg0 key="validator.calculationType"/>
</field>
<field
property="isDecret"
depends="required,integer" page="2">
<arg0 key="validator.isDecret"/>
</field>
</form>
in this case when page=1 then only calculationType validate, when page=2
then calculationType and isDecret validate.
when page=n (fields from page attr page=0..n validate)

If you want to do validation conditionally, you can disable validation
in struts-config, and call 'form.validate' explicitly in the Action
class.(base on your condition)
About the 'page' attribute, what I don't understand is, how does struts
know which fields are in page 1, which fields are in page 2,3,4..., in
order to do the validation for the current+previous pages only?
Rgds,
Patrick.

You can try to use the page attribute of the field element. "Only fields
with a page attribute value that is equal to or less than the value of
the page property on the form JavaBean are processed. This is useful
when using a "wizard" approach to completing a large form, to ensure
that a page is not skipped"

Hi
We are using dispatch action and validator framework. There is a
popup action associated with one button on the form. When the user
clicks on this a particular method in the action is called but I don't
want to validate the ActionForm because the main form is not submitted.
There are other buttons that submit the form and I need a selective
validator framework.
I know that it is possible if I were to write my own validate()
method by checking a particular value in the form.
Can I disable the validator similarly ? If this is not possible then
I have to abandon the validator.
Appreciate ideas.
Mohan
