help on validate attribute

Hi folks,

If I put validate=true in the action tag, the form will be validated once it is load.  Is it a right behavior?  Since there is no data in the form bean, some madatory fields that I specify in the validate method will be treated as error.  How should I handle it?

If you put validate="true" in a action-mapping the form will be populated and 
then validated before the perform (now execute) method of the action is 
called.

validate="true" should be used in the action that "receives" the post, not the 
action that generates the html form!
