It's really quite simple. What happens during a regular form submission is
that the browser includes a parameter based on the button that was clicked. So
if you have a button that looks like this in HTML: <input name="btnI"
type="submit" value="I'm Feeling Lucky"/>
then when you click on it the browser will add the following to the set of
parameters posted: btnI=I'm Feeling Lucky
Since Stripes knows ahead of time the set of events it can expect (based on
method names and @HandlesEvent annotations) it pokes into the request and looks
for any request parameters with a name that matches one of the event names it
knows about. When it finds one it considers it a match and runs that event.
So to simulate it using a link you just add a parameter with the name ==
eventName - the value doesn't matter. However, you shouldn't have to concern
yourself with this as you can just do: <stripes:link beanclass="foo.bar"
event="myEvent"/>

I think a literal explanation on how stripes is able to determine which button
has generated the event will come in handy. this is because a lot of the times,
i get into the situation where the action i am expecting will have to come from
a link, not a button on a form. But i don't know how to make a link behave like
a form post with the action name in the right place
for stripes to pick up. I have had to resort to passing in a parameter and
letting the default handler handle the event and using the parameter to tell
which method to call.

Hi Cosmin,
A safer, more explicit, less 'hacky' way to do it is to use a hidden
input whose name is '_eventName' and value is the name of your event,
as in
<s:hidden name="_eventName" value="execute"/>
This would call public Resolution execute() on your action bean.
Cheers,
Freddy
