I'm still figuring out how to  use struts tags.  I'm trying to have three buttons ( add, edit ,delete) with a property called method so that I can use DispatchAction.  Here is a snippet of my jsp.  When I look at it in the browser I don't see the buttons.  What am I doing wrong? 
Also, is DispatchAction a good way to go? I'm going to have a lot of add, edit, delete screens.

Thanks in advance
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0"
 style="text-align: left; width: 50%;">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">
        <html:submit property="method" value="countryAdd"></html:submit> </td>
      <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">
        <html:submit property="method" value="countryEdit"></html:submit> </td>
      <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">
        <html:submit property="method" value="countryDelete"></html:submit> </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

If this is your whole page, you are missing some stuff. Specifically, 
the taglib declaration at the top of the page:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>

and an html:form surrounding your html:submit buttons. That html:form 
needs to also be linked up to a form bean definition in your 
struts-config file (which has a form-property called method).

I'll leave the arugment about dispatch action to those that are already 
arguing about it :)
