Just use 2 separate actions - one for the submit and one for the page load.
The submit action will user validate and the load one won't.

Subject: RE: Struts html:link tag
Thanks for the input, but that's not what I want. I
want to have form validation, but only when the user
clicks on the Submit button and not when the page is
loaded. And I want to load the page through struts
(<html:link page="/user/userAdd.do">). How can I have
Struts to differentiate between an action triggered by
a page being loaded and an action triggered by a
request being submitted after the Submit button was
clicked???
