Re: Submit Value

That is the difference between DispatchAction and LookupDispatchAction. 
Refer to:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/actions/LookupDispatchAction.html

Basically, in both cases you need to overload the getKeyMethodMap() 
method (Note: I think the documentation
I posted is wrong. I needed to declare it as public Map 
getKeyMethodMap() { }).

For DispatchAction, your Map will look like this:

map.put("Delete", "deleteMethod");

For LookupDispatchAction, you use a resource key instead of the submit 
button value.

map.put("globals.DELETE", "deleteMethod");

And as someone just posted, your submit button will look like:

<html:submit property="submitButton">
<bean:message key="globals.DELETE"/>
</html:submit>

Alright, I think I basically understand how this works, but doesn't this
interfere with internationalization?
If we want to use a message from Application Resources for the button label,
and if we check for that value in our action, won't the internationalization
get completely messed up?

A submit button is supposed to submit a parameter when selected.
i.e.
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Delete">

should send /xxx.do?submitButton=Delete

This should correspond to a member of your ActionForm.

You should also look into DispatchAction and LookupDispatchAction.
They can call different "execute" methods depending on a parameter from 
the form post.

Don't bother trying it. Only Mozilla gives you the value, while IE doesn't.

Quick question...

I'm using 2 submit buttons in the same form, so that I can do 1 of 2
   

things,
 

with the same input data.
(You can do that, right?)
I have the value attribute for one of them set to 'delete'.  What I'm
wondering is how to get the value of the submit button that was clicked
   

from
 

within the action class.

Thanx a million.
