Erik,
I suggested Sunil try a javascript function on each of the buttons
to invoke different paths configured in the struts-config file.
A bootleg attempt to decouple the button actions from the <form/>
Would that work?

As the @author of LookupDispatchAction, I guess I am obligated to
respond here. You could delegate to other classes from that one if you
wanted and not put the actual logic executed there.

Or you could use DispatchAction or some custom variant of that approach.
Struts really is all about a single entry point from a form, so you'll
need to have a single action if its a single <form> - but there are
many ways to do it.
