This comes up repeatedly, please search the archives.
You either need to avoid validation the "first" time, or else turn it off
and call it manually when needed. I leave it turned on, and do this:
public ActionErrors validate( ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request )
{
ActionErrors ae = new ActionErrors();
/*
* only validate if the form has actually been POSTed.
* This keeps error messages from appearing when the
* form is displayed for the first time.
*/
if ( request.getMethod().equals( "POST" ) ) {
return super.validate( mapping, request );
} else {
return null;
}
}

Step through the code in a debugger and it will become clear. Every time a
request comes in, validate gets called (if you have it configured that way).
This happens *before* the form gets displayed.
