The keys in your KeyMethodMap should correspond to messages in your message
bundle used to render the button. So you would have in your jsp:
<html:submit>
<bean:message key="button.add.banana"/>
</html:submit>
in your action:
protected Map getKeyMethodMap(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request) {
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("button.add.banana", "addBanana");
map.put("button.delete.banana", "deleteBanana");
return map;
}
And in your message-resources file:
button.add.banana=Add Banana
button.delete.banana=Delete Banana
If you don't need the message resources (for i18n or something), you might
want to use DispatchAction instead.

Subject: LookupDispatchAction
Does anybody know why the following is casuing me so many problems.
I'm using LookupDispatchAction and have a number of methods defined
in my action class including an execute method. The problem is that
the execute method ALWAYS gets executed and not the intended method.
I have in the addbanana.jsp:
<html:submit value="Add Banana" property="action"/>
and in Struts-config:
<action path="/addbanana"
type="com.example.AddBananaAction"
name="BananaForm"
input="/addbanana.jsp"
scope="session"
parameter="action">
</action>
In my action class I've defined the following:
public ActionForward addBanana(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
public ActionForward deleteBanana(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
/**
* Get key method map just obtains the map that maps the button
* text onto the particular method in this action
* @param mapping is the action mapping
* @param form is the action form
* @param request is the http request
*/
protected Map getKeyMethodMap() {
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("Add Banana", "addBanana");
map.put("Delete Banana", "deleteBanana");
return map;
}
/**
* Execute method
* @param mapping is the information regardin gthe URI mapping and the
action
* @param form is the action form used
* @param request is the request
* @param response is the response
* @return the action forward, a destination to forward the user onto (eg
another JSP)
*/
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
Logger.logInfo("Execute Called");
//We can now put these bits in the database
return (mapping.findForward("success")
}
Does anybody know why EXECUTE is called but the intended ADDBANANA method is
not
called?
Many thanks,
Jon.
