I can think of a couple of ways. One of them you already have identified, namely change the button name on JSP 2. The other option that I thought of is to set the "redirect" attribute to "true" on the forward element in ACTION1's action mapping. This will cause the browser to send a new request to ACTION2 and FORM2 will not be populated with your button name. Of course if you had planned on capturing any data from the original request (except the button name), then this approach would not work.
