If you want different types of validation to be performed before the Action is executed, then assuming you are using the Struts Validator I recommend that you : 1) ensure your Forms extend from ValidatorActionForm, 2) Create separate ActionMappings for each type of validation you want to perform (each ActionMapping uses the same Action class). 3) Create the various validation specifications in validation.xml, each keyed to the new ActionMappings.
