problem with losing data after validation

Hi there,

Having some diffs around validation and loss of data after it fires.

I've created 'lister' type actions to populate drop downs and specifically to build a string to go into a yahoo js calendar widget.  

The actions don't implement preparable and just have an execute method that loads the data...but after validation fires they don't seem to get called again.

The form kinda looks like this.
[code]

<@ww.form action="save">

	<@ww.action name="loadList" id="statusList" executeResult="false" />
/>
	<div id="cal2">   
      <script type="text/javascript">
        var statuses = <@ww.property value="%{#statusList.dataList}" />
      </script>   
	</div>

...etc
</@ww.form>
[/code]

The xwork.xml looks like so:

[code]  

            <interceptor-stack name="defaultStack">
                <interceptor-ref name="exception"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="alias"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="servlet-config"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="authentication"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="prepare"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="i18n"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="chain"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="model-driven"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="static-params"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="params"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="conversionError"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="validation">
                    <param name="excludeMethods">input,cancel,execute,delete,edit,list,default,display,prepareInput</param>
                </interceptor-ref>
                <interceptor-ref name="workflow">
                    <param name="excludeMethods">input,back,cancel</param>
                </interceptor-ref>
            </interceptor-stack>
		<default-interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/> 

        <action name="loadList" class="com.webapp.action.ListDataAction" method="loadData">
        </action>  
[/code]

and action is like so:
[code]
public class ListDataAction extends BaseAction{
     private DataManager dataManager = new DataManager();    
    
     private String dataList;    
     
     public String execute(){
         return SUCCESS;
     }    
     
     public String loadData(){

         this.dataList = this.dataManager.getDataString();
         log.info("dataList=" + dataList);     
         return SUCCESS;
     }
          
     public String getDataList() {return this.dataList;}
     public void setDataList(String list) {this.dataList = list;}  
}

[/code]

I'm at a bit of a loss here as to why the actions don't get called again?
hope someone can shed some light on this..

thanks.
