I'm not 100% sure if this is what you are asking
about, but the Validator Framework has the concept of
levels of validation errors.  You can setup a
validator to depends on another one.  The 'minlength'
validator depends on the 'required' validator.  So
until this level (required) is completed, the next
level will not occur.

<validator name="required"
        
classname="com.wintecinc.struts.validation.StrutsValidator"
         method="validateRequired"
         msg="errors.required">

<validator name="minlength"
        
classname="com.wintecinc.struts.validation.StrutsValidator"
         method="validateMinLength"
         depends="required"
         msg="errors.minlength">


You can find the framework in the Struts nightly
builds in the contrib/validator directory or at the
url below.
