Shouldn't that be a separate "ConfirmDeletionAction" with it's action
mapping validate set to false?
If you wanted to combine multiple actions in one Action Handler but have
that action having auto-validationof formbeans you might try:
1. Subclassing ActionServlet and overriding it's processValidate method
to not validate if a flag is sent in the HttpRequest (possibly a hidden
variable indicating "confirmDeletion".
2. Make your formBean's validate method check for the "do not validate
flag".

In struts-config you can specify that validation won't occur on a
per-action
basis like this:
<action path="/someaction"
type="com.whatever.SomeAction"
scope="request"
name="SomeForm"
input="some.jsp"
validate="false">
<forward name="receipt"path="another.jsp" />
</action>
Does that help?
