Annotation Validations: Per Method?

["Asleson, Ryan" <as...@BIWORLDWIDE.com>]

 
Hello,
 
I have an Action class that backs a page.  The page has two submit
buttons it:  one that should call methodOne on the Action, and another
that should call methodTwo.
 
Each method has a Validation annotation that validates different fields,
that look something like this:
 
    @Validations(
        requiredStrings={
            @RequiredStringValidator(type=ValidatorType.SIMPLE,
fieldName="firstName", message="please enter first name")}
    )
    public String methodOne() 
    {
        System.out.println("\n\n***** submitFirstName *****");
        return "submitSuccess";
    }
    
    @Validations(
 
requiredStrings={@RequiredStringValidator(type=ValidatorType.SIMPLE,
fieldName="lastName", message="please enter last name")}
    )
    public String methodTwo() 
    {
        System.out.println("\n\n***** submitLastName *****");
        return "submitSuccess";
    }

 
My intent is that the annotation for methodOne should only have the
firstName field as required, while methodTwo should only have lastName
as required.
 
If I submit the form using the button that calls methodOne, I get
validation errors for both firstName and lastName, contrary to my
intent.  Similarly, submitting the form using the button for methodTwo
also produces validation messages for both firstName and lastName.
 
So, my question:  Are the @Validations annotations specific to a method?
It doesn't appear they are, but I just wanted to see if they were and if
I'm doing something wrong.
 
Thank you!!
