How is submit different from update? And reset depends on how you do it... A typical reset button on a form is client-side, it just puts the form back the way it was when that page loaded. LookupDispatchAction is good for this... Instead of (or in addition to) the execute method, you would have methods for (as an example) create, update, delete, (or whatever the submit buttons on your form are called). The getKeyMethodMap() method maps the text on the buttons to the method. So in one action, you can handle all the things that need to be done on that form. As far as going to a different action, a form generally posts to it's own action, but once the code there is executed you can forward wherever you want. Either use mapping.findForward() to look up one of the forwards in struts-config.xml or instantiate your own ActionForward object and return that. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM
