Hi Jim,
You can exclude methods (in your case execute method) from validation using
workflow interceptor exclude methods parameter.
<interceptor-ref name="workflow">
<param name="excludeMethods">execute</param>
</interceptor-ref>
May be this could help.
Thank you.

Subject: Whats the best way to do validation messages on the same page?
There's got to be a better way of doing this than the way that I am doing it.
Convention plugin.
According to my projects requirements error/validation/success
messages are supposed to show on the jsp that generated them. So if I
am on a page that adds a record and I leave all the fields blank,
selecting submit will display some errors on that page but will not
move on to a different page.
All of these pages are in the /content dir so if I have:
some-file.jsp and SomeFileAction.java and if SomeFileAction extends
ActionSupport implements Preparable, then execute() is going to get
called when ever the page is loaded even though it's empty and just
returns "success"... I have to override and annotate execute with
@SkipValidation to prevent messages from being displayed when the user
has first loaded the page. The form on the some-file.jsp calls
some-file!doSomething when the Submit button is selected. This turns
things into a real mess. What the convention plugin does is consistent
but not always predictable. I basically had to break with the
conventions and use a few @Results and an additional action to get
some predictability out of it.
Anyway... how would you have done this?
