I have a question...

Is it possible for the Struts validator to perform only a subset of the =
defined validations with the "validation.xml" file?

Here is a scenerio.=20
Lets say I have a page that has 15 fields.
A design requirement comes along for a WAP implementation. In that =
requirement I will split
the original screen into 3 screens, each with five fields. All three =
screens obviously share the same
form object.

I want to reuse the original save action that the original screen used. =
I can chain all three pages together, so
that the first two screens have a "next" button, while the last has the =
"save" button. The two "next" buttons
simply utilize a generic success based action. No real logic is =
performed, but this allows me to collect
my data into the commonly shared form. Finally on the last screen I can =
invoke the standard "save" action
with no changes.

The problem is that now the validations need to fall across multiple =
pages instead of just one page. How
can I accomplish this. I know I can allow all of the validations to =
occur or none at all, but how can I perform
these 5 then another 5, then the last 5 with the Struts validator.

Look forward to your reply :)
