You can use the parameter property for this.
<!-- Article Edit action mapping -->
<action
path="/article/Edit"
type="org.apache.struts.artimus.http.Client"
name="articleForm"
scope="request"
validate="false"
parameter="select">
<forward
name="continue"
path="/WEB-INF/pages/Entry.jsp"/>
</action>
<!-- Article Store action mapping -->
<action
path="/article/Save"
type="org.apache.struts.artimus.http.Client"
name="articleForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/WEB-INF/pages/Entry.jsp"
parameter="store">
<forward
name="continue"
path="/WEB-INF/pages/Article.jsp"/>
</action>
Then in the Action:
String dispatch = mapping.getParameter();
