If you are using Struts 1.2.9, then lookup EventActionDispatcher. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Van Wart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 1:39 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts Design question

So I'm trying to figure this out myself. I don't actually have multiple buttons in a single form, but I'd like to know the solution to this if I run across it in the future... so here's an example: <form-bean name="myForm" class="mypkg.MyForm" /> <action path="/myAction" type="mypkg.MyAction" name="myForm" scope="request" validate="false" parameter="action"> <forward ..... /> </action> OK and then here's my form: <html:form action="/myForm"> <input type="submit" name="action" value="Create"> <input type="submit" name="action" value="Update"> </html:form> Now... two things: - I used HTML because I can't find a way to get Struts to let me name the buttons with <html:submit>. - When the form is submitted, let's say the user clicked the "Create" button. The action will end up with action=Create, which will hit my DispatchAction method's Create method. Is this the right way of doing things? It seems kind of weird, because now you can't do internationalization (buttons always have to be the same), and you're pretty restricted with what you can name your buttons and call your DispatchAction's methods. Ideas? - Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
