Typically, there will be seperation ActionMappings for presenting the
form and storing the form. They may both use the same Action class, but
different ActionMappings. One has validate=false, the other has
validate=true.
Another way to go would be to make mode a property on your form. Then in
your validate method, you can skip the validation if
getMode().equals("Add").
