When multiple methods are used to map different actions on the same class, and one of them is annotated with @Validations, those validators will be triggered for all the actions, unless they are annotated with @SkipValidation or validateAnnotatedMethodOnly is set to true in the "validation" interceptor, like:

<interceptor-ref name="validation">
    <param name="validateAnnotatedMethodOnly">true</param>
    <param name="excludeMethods">input,back,cancel,browse</param>
</interceptor-ref>
