Finally, I found two valuable solutions to my problem.
The first one is MappingDispatchAction, as suggested
by Hubert. It is efficient but I dislike to have so
much entries in my struts-config (my application is
going big enough)
I found a good explanation for it by the frustrated
programmer (who gives us some remarks about Struts
which were helpful for me)
http://frustratedprogrammer.blogspot.com/2004/07/struts-121-mappingdispatchaction.html
The second one is to redefine the methode "validate"
in my form-bean (EditionPersonneForm, which extends
validator.ValidateForm) and add a condition in it,
which enables validation or not, according to my
dispatch parameter "do".
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
{
if (someCondition)
{
return new ActionErrors();
}
return super.validate(mapping, request);
}
Thanks again, Hubert !
