Arg, mixing JSF and scriptlet? Be prepared for problems, it's like
mixing JSF and JSTL in a JSP :)
The action itself has no way to know which button was used to invoke it.
However, you have various possibilities
1) use a f:param to pass named parameter JSF, you can then query this
parameter from the JSF context
eg:
<h:commandLink action="#{approveBean.action}" styleClass="link">
<f:param name="selectedItemEntry" value="....."/>
<f:verbatim>some link name</f:verbatim>
</h:commandLink>
2) Add a listener to your action, the listener will be called with an
event object which allows you to retrieve the commandLink object user
clicked on.
PS: why do you do the iteration in a scriptlet rather than using a JSF
datatable to iterate of your items?
