In your BasicForm's validate() you could do check for the
"parameter"'s value and return "ActionErrors" based on that value;
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request){
/* if load or unspecified return null */
if(org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.isEmpty((String)request.getParameter(mapping.getParameter()))
||
if(org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.equals((String)request.getParameter(mapping.getParameter()),
"load")){
return null;
}
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
// do the validation
return errors;
}
