You would do it the way you'd do it an any web application.
Here's how I do it: All my button field names start with "btn". I would
name these buttons btnProcess, btnViewByOrg and btnViewByProcess (or
something similar).
In my perform method, I'd put code like this:
String button_pressed = null;
Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames();
while ( e.hasMoreElements() ) {
String param = (String)e.nextElement();
if ( param.startsWith("btn") ) {
button_pressed = param;
break;
}
}
At this point, button_pressed tells you the name of the button that was
pressed. I have a utility class that has this code in it and I use it
everywhere.
