at least 2 ways to determine the button selected 1)set a boolean property which is enabled on or off based on executed button class MyAction extends ActionSupport { private boolean submit; private boolean clear; public void setSubmit(boolean submit) { this.submit = submit; } public void setClear(boolean clear) { this.clear = clear; } public String execute() { if (submit) { doSubmit(); return "submitResult"; } if (clear) { doClear(); return "clearResult"; } return super.execute(); } }2)check the name of the button as indicated here class MyAction extends ActionSupport { private String buttonName; public void setButtonName(String buttonName) { this.buttonName = buttonName; } public String execute() { if ("Submit".equals(buttonName)) { doSubmit(); return "submitResult"; } if ("Clear".equals(buttonName)) { doClear(); return "clearResult"; } return super.execute(); } }http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/multiple-submit-buttons.html
