A slightly better way is to use the html:rewrite tag to generate the action URL in a JS function.
Thanks. Yea, I guess the JS solution isn't too bad. I'll create a resuable JS method that will take the form name and new action name based on an onClick event for the buttons. Should work nicely. Good suggestion about using the html:rewrite tag.
<script> function swapAction(control) { formAction = document.getElementById("empForm").action; if (control.checked) newAction = '<html:rewrite page="/CreateEmployee.do"/>'; else newAction = '<html:rewrite page="/UpdateEmployee.do"/>'; document.getElementById("empForm").action = newAction; } </script> <html:form styleId="empForm" action="/UpdateEmployee"> New Employee: <html:checkbox property="create" onclick='swapAction(this)"'/><br /> ...
That way if you are URL rewriting instead of cookies you don't lose the session.

Rick,
Changing the action via js is fairly straightforward and works across any 4+ version browser.
Assuming your form is like so:
<form action="/something.do" name="myForm" method="post">
your javascript would be:
var a = document.myForm.action; // a is easier to type
document.myForm.action=a.substring(0,a.lastIndexOf(".")) + "else.do" ; // replace something.do with somethingelse.do

I'm new to struts but the environment I'm coming from Oracle Designer Web PL/SQL generator has a way to deal with this sort of thing that I'm likely to be using in Struts. Every form has a hidden field in it named z_action and the buttons all have some js in the onclick that populates z_action.
Yes that's what you'd use for a conventional DispatchAction and it works well (and it's what I've always used up until now), but I like the basic behavior of the MappingDispatchAction and want to leverage that as well so I really need an Action that behaves both ways:) (which is why I came up with approach in the getMethodName I described).
