You can use the LookupDispatchAction to accomplish what you want.

Basically, your form will submit to the same ActionForm and will go to the
same Action. But, depending on which button you click you can set the
LookupDispatchAction to call different methods in your LookupDispatchAction.
It is good practice to pass ALL requests through an Action when going from
page to page, even if it is a simple page to page navigation with no biz
layer interaction.

In your case you could set one button to call a method in you
LookupDispatchAction that simply calls mapping.findForward("gohere"). The
other method could contain the code you need the process your form and
forward to it's next view.
