Are you sure your destinationName validation is correct - seems to me like
it should always give a validation error if buttonSelected is not "find"? I
think it should be something like the following....
> destinationName is required only when destinationReference is null AND
> the parameter 'buttonSelected' is 'find'
<field property="destinationName" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="prompt.destinationName"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>(*this* != null) or
( (buttonSelected != "find") or
(destinationRef != null))
</var-value>
</var>
</field>
For the destinationReference validation, how about the following...
> destinationReference is ALWAYS required EXCEPT when 'buttonSelected' is
> 'find' and destinationReference is not null
<field property="destinationRef" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="prompt.destinationRef"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>(*this* != null) or
((buttonSelected == "find") and
(destinationName != null))
</var-value>
</var>
</field>
