Use a LookupDispatch Action, very convenient no java script no logic
branching. (For more info look at Ted Husteds struts tips)
Have your buttons setup like this...
<html:submit>
<bean:message key="button.edit"/>
</html:submit>
<br/>
<html:submit>
<bean:message key="button.relate"/>
</html:submit>
Action looks like this ...you have to map all your buttons to methods in
this class and struts takes care of running your method based on the button
submitted.
public class ArticleAction extends LookupDispatchAction {
protected Map getKeyMethodMap() {
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("button.edit", "view");
map.put("button.relate", "relate");
map.put("button.new.article", "newArticle");
map.put("button.view", "view");
map.put("button.remove.related", "remove");
return map;
}
public ActionForward view(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
return getArticle(mapping, form, request,articleId);
}

Have been through this one; originally used option 2 (javascript to on
button click to change action), but as we use httpunit to acceptance test,
which does not support javascript, we migrated to a third option:
Have a generic action to route based on button pressed.
In the html:
<html:form action="/routeThisForm">
<html:submit property="SubmitButton_A"/>
<html:submit property="SubmitButton_B"/>
...
In struts config.xml:
<action path="/routeThisForm"
type = "com.whatever.GenericSubmitRouteAction"
...
<forward name="A" path="/A_Action.do"/>
<forward name="B" path="/B_Action.do"/>
</action>
The code for the generic submit route action looks for which button was
pressed, and maps to the appropriately named forwarding. If anyone is
interested in this approach I'll post the code for the routing action.
It would be nice if Struts somehow supported this sort of thing (forms with
multiple actions based on submit button pressed) inherently.

Hi,
I see two solution for this.
1) For each button, you can define a different form with a different action
attribute
2) You can use a javascript function to change the action attribute
Ex:
<script language=JavaScript>
function doSubmit(val) {
if (val==1) {
document.forms.consult.action='/save.do';
}
else if (val==2) {
document.forms.consult.action='/remove.do';
}
document.forms.consult.submit();
}
</script>
<html:form name="consult" type="ActionForm" action="/save.do">
<input type=button class=simpletext value=Valider
onClick="doSubmit(1);return false;">
<input type=button value="Delete" class="simpletext" onClick="if
(confirm('Etes vous certain de vouloir supprimer cet enregistrement ?'))
doSubmit(2); return false;">
</html:form>
Hope it will help,
Renato
