How to exclude action methods from validation in struts2

My Action class have the following methods,

1.add
2.edit
3.loadEdit
4.remove
5.list
6.execute

in this i need to apply validation for add and edit..how do need to config in struts.xml.I followed,

<action name="editComment" method="edit"
        class="com.mmm.ehspreg2.web.action.product.CommentAction">
    <result name="success">/jsp/propertyManager/loadList.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="removeComment" method="remove"
        class="com.mmm.ehspreg2.web.action.product.CommentAction">
    <interceptor-ref name="validation">
        <param name="excludeMethods">remove</param>
    </interceptor-ref>
    <result type="tiles">listComment</result>
    <result type="tiles" name="input">listComment</result>
</action>

When I configure it like this, remove action method is not getting called. I don't understand the problem. Please assist.

you can also use @SkipValidation before method initialization in action class

e.g.

@SkipValidation
public String save() {
    String result = super.save();
    if (result.equals(SAVE)) {
        setMessage1(getText("save.successful"));
    } else {
        setMessage1(getText("save.unsuccessful"));
    }
    jsonResponse = new Hashtable<String, Object>();
    jsonResponse.put(FIELD_JSONRESPONSE_STATUS,
            KEY_JSONRESPONSE_MESSAGE_SUCCESS);
    jsonResponse.put(FIELD_JSONRESPONSE_MESSAGE,
            KEY_JSONRESPONSE_EMPTY_STRING);
    jsonResponse.put(FIELD_JSONRESPONSE_VALUE, domainModel.getId());
    // System.out.println("domainModel>>>>>>" + domainModel.getId());
    return result;
}

Simply list all the methods you don't want to be run through the validation framework in the excludeMethods parameter. Since you only want add and edit validated, list the other 4 as follows:

<interceptor-ref name="validation">
    <param name="excludeMethods">loadEdit,remove,list,execute</param>
</interceptor-ref>

You can read more about it in the Validation Interceptor docs.
