You can use a Javascript function to determine the name of the servlet, and
call it from the onsubmit() action listener.
Something like:
function callServlet(servletname){
document.form.formname.action = "/servlet/" + servletname
}

One thing you might be able to do is have each button be in it's own
form. (If they share other form input fields, you won't be able to do
this.)
Another is to have each button set a certain parameter and have one
"dispatching" servlet receiving things on the server end and passing
it on to the appropriate servlet based on the value of that parameter.
You should be able to use RequestDispatcher for this (I don't know the
details).
