We have also implemented a multiple submit button system; but in our
case we wrote a custom tag that generates javascript that sets a property
to a specified value and submits the form when you hit the button.
The tags look something like:
<my_submit property="formAction" value="delete" label="Delete this
record"/>
<my_submit property="formAction" value="save" label="Save changes"/>
<my_submit property="formAction" value="copy" label="Copy this record"/>
etc
A single action object can then use the value of formAction to decide what to
do in each case.
This has the side-effect of reducing the number of Action classes needed.
However, the tags generate javascript and I wasn't sure if this fitted the
struts philosophy; so I
haven't submitted the code changes. But if anyone was interested I could make
it available.
