Hi Everyone,

I'm building a wizard flow that has about 5 pages linked to the same
form. The only issue I'm having is the validator is requiring fields
that haven't even been submitted.. Example:

Assume the ActionForm contains two fields (both of them required):
firstName and SSN..

On the first page the user would enter his firstName and click next to
type in the SSN.

So in the validation.xml I would depend both of firstName and SSN, but
it never moves from the first page because SSN is always empty...

Please tell me the **BEST** solution... (j/k)... I want the cleanest
and 'best practiced' solution please...

Thanks.
