What LookupDispatchAction will allow u to do is the following:
* Have 1 Action class, with multiple executable methods in there (instead of the one
usual "execute" method)
* Have 2 buttons in your jsp with different labels (but the same name!!!), * Depending
on which button is clicked, one of the methods that u coded in your action class will
be fired off
The glue is that the labels in the 2 buttons must match the keys in the
ApplicationResources, and the button labels must map to the Action class methods via
the getKeyMethodMap method in your action class...
See below for some code.
/*I inherit from BaseUpdateAction */
public abstract class BaseUpdateAction extends LookupDispatchAction
{
protected Map getKeyMethodMap ()
{
//this method redirects control to one of a number of methods (delete, insert,
update)
Map map = new HashMap();
//Note: the keys must match the keys in the properties file and the labels in
the JSP buttons
//and the values must match methods in this class
//the methods themselves also need to math the "execute" method signature (other than
for the name portion!)
map.put("insert.label", "insert");
map.put("update.label", "update");
map.put("delete.label", "delete");
return map;
}
public ActionForward insert (ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm from,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
{
}
/* etc */
}
My resources file contains the following:
insert.label=Insert
update.label=Update
delete.label=Delete
I went though all of this hassle yesterday!

Subject: Button labels and DispatchActions mix?
Hello people,
I have the following code :
<html:submit property="action" value="resetg" >
<bean:message key="search.button.reset" />
</html:submit>
What I am trying to do is have a Dispatch Action so that when this button is pressed
the request is something like search.do?action=resetg But I don't want my button to
have the resetg title on it. I want it to have the search.button.reset title from
ApplicationResources bundle on it. It seems tha Struts html tag library mixes the two.
Is there a way out of this?
Thanks....
