I use the approach outlined in http://www.michaelmcgrady.com/button/jsp/button_talk.jsp. In summary each button, when clicked, puts their value in a different request paramater - by looking for the presence of a partcicular paramater a different dispatch method can be called.
This approach should be relatively easy to use with non dispatch actions with a few changes to the RequestProcessor.
