Sounds like a lot of work that hyperlinks w/ diverging URIs or
querystrings can accomplish, IMHO.
But to answer your question:
The action-form associated with this action will need a property
named "joe".
The jsp page's <input> buttons need a name of "joe", and a value
of whatever you want rendered ("Single", "Batch", blah blah)
The action class will test the ActionForm.joe to see if it has
a value of "Single" or "Batch".
This doesn't account for when people access the action without
clicking either form.
