http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12297 Simplified DispatchAction Summary: Simplified DispatchAction Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Beta 2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Controller AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The DispatchAction is great when you need more than one Submit-Button in a Form. But the disadvantage is, that the name of the called Action method must be the same what the User sees as Text on the Submit-Button. Internationalization of Button-Texts is not usable and the Web-Designer is not as flexible as you need. The Struts-Solution is the more complicated LookupDispatchAction. But here you have to implement a Method called "getKeyMethodMap". I propose to alter the execute-Method of the DispatchAction class: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { // Identify the method name to be dispatched to String name = null; Enumeration enum = request.getParameterNames(); while (enum.hasMoreElements()) { String item = (String)enum.nextElement(); if(item.startsWith("method=")) { name=item.substring(7); break; } } if(name == null) { name = "unspecified"; } // Invoke the named method, and return the result return dispatchMethod(mapping,form,request,response,name); } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- An in the JSP you have simple Buttons like this: <html:submit property="method=logon"> <bean:messagekey="prompt.logon"/> </nested:submit> <nested:submit property="method=something" value="Do something"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And voilą: On the first button the Method "logon" is called, on the second, the method "something". And this is totally independend of the visible Text for the User.
