the powers that be within my organization have passed a decree that all form buttons have to use images because, supposedly, html text buttons are too "ugly". be that as it may. i am extending the LookupDispatchAction for all my Action classes that have inserts/updates/searches etc in them. the following is an example of my action setup in struts-config.xml. <!-- Carrier related Action Mappings --> <action path="/secure/CarrierAdmin" name="CarrierAdminForm" type="com.brightpoint.online.admin.control.carrier.CarrierAdminAction"
scope="request" input="/jsp/admin/carrier/carrierAdmin.jsp" validate="false" parameter="action"> <forward name="show_carrier_admin" path="/jsp/admin/carrier/carrierAdmin.jsp?action=view"/> </action> in my jsp, i was able to successfully get it to work in the following way.
