There are two approaches to solving this problem. The first is to create two separate action mappings. One for the display of the form and the other for the form to submit to. Only put validation of the mapping that receives the submission. The second solution is to use a DispatchAction. This allows you to have two steps in the mapping. The first step is to present the blank form, the second step is to process the form submission. Only validate the step where the submission occurs. I usually prefer the second method.

There's a strange situation regarding to the ValidatorForm. I want to display an empty Form (e.g. for a new functionality), but all validation rules have already fired. I don't think this was the case using a regular ActionForm, however with ValidatorForm all fields are being validated before they are being displayed! Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
