I suspect that you have a little wrong understanding of XMLForms.
The XMLForm were intended to implement the Model - View - Controller
pattern, where:
Model - is your Instance data that holds the form data (JavaBean or
DOM object) (See http://www.w3c.org/ - XForms).
View - an XML description of the form that is transformed by the
XMLFormTransformer, filled by the instance date, then transformed into
desired format by XSLT
Controller - currently, the role of the controller performs the
sitemap, but you can use some other (maybe the flowmap) approach to control
the sequence of actions, states, etc. - flow - of your application.
So,
> 1. where to go when the form is validated ?
This task is solved by the flow controller (whatever you choose). No
JavaBean is used here.
> 2. what is the validator file ?
This one is setup in the sitemap. You specify a file with validation rules
as a parameter for validating action/transformer.
> 3. other ?
Nothing else.
Shortly:
- Model
{JavaBean | DOM }
- View
{XML | XSP} -> {XMLFormTransformer [ i18nTransformer | ...]}
-> [XSLT]
- Controller
Sitemap | Sitemap + Flow | Sitemap + your approach
Though, I must admit that things could have changed since we've discussed
the implementation details for XMLForm. I have to take a fresh look at it.

P.S. Sylvain, this explanation can be an answer to your first point: How
does Cocoon implement Struts' features.
