Sounds like a regular PITA. Well, if you insist on keeping the process on the server, I don't know of any other way you can do it then the one you already do (except for the eo.editingContext().validateForSave()) change...
Well, hypothetically, maybe, a derived attribute could be used, but that is probably a worse solution on many levels...
What Anjo says, well, if the delegate would stop the editing context from validation, but RMI would continue, it would still commit the changes to the server, and you would end up with a possibly invalid server side context. To me that does not sound good, and I believe your idea of validating before triggering RMI is more appropriate. Except, you might want to validate on the EO's editing context, not the EO itself, because triggering RMI on the EO will save all the changes in it's context.
However, I've never worked with editing context's delegates though, and only assume about it's functionality, maybe Anjo had something different in mind...
