Re: checking whether a button has been pressed

[Brian Trzupek]

Session,

I would recommend using the method attribute of the submit tag. This  
allows you to specify a method that will be executed when the form is  
submitted with that given input button. Example is:

<s:submit value="toDelete"  method="delete"/>
<s:submit value="toSave"  method="save"/>
<s:submit value="toOther"  method="other"/>

Then your your Action Class implement methods like:

    public String save() throws Exception {
        .... your logic here .....
        return SUCCESS;
    }

    public String delete() throws Exception {
        .... your logic here .....
        return SUCCESS;
    }

    public String other() throws Exception {
        .... your logic here .....
        return SUCCESS;
    }

This pattern has proven wonderfully useful in our development.

Hi,

I have a jsp page with a form and a number of input buttons.  I  
would like my form action to differentiate which button has been  
pressed in order to show different pages.  I have private boolean  
variables that correspond to each button in my jsp page being  
pressed, but when my action runs and any button is pressed, all of  
my variables are false and the proper page isn't displayed.  Any  
clues?

Thanks,
Session
