RE: HTML / Struts Help - addendum to summary.

["Mattos, John" <jm...@Indemand.com>]

I like that solution.

I Think I'll alter my solution so that I'm doing it this way. Originally, I
was concerned about getting back "Process Suspends" or some other strange
string from 

String getBtnProcess() ( a method on the ActionForm class) within the
Action.perform() method, but then I realized I have access to the message
resources, and that's where I'm getting that "Process Suspends" label
anyway, so why not just compare them.

I can therefore just do something like the following:

// Action.perform() snippet follows:
MessageResources application = actionServlet.getResources();
String thingToCompare =
application.getProperty(button.button.processSuspends);

I can then compare the results of getBtnProcess() with thingToCompare and do
whatever I need to do.

Good catch, thanks

John

I think the design of struts is that you should have get/setters in your
form
beans for the button parameters rather than look at the request parms
directly.

in form bean ================================
	boolean createButton;
	public void setCreateButton(String createButtonParm) {
		createButton = true;
	}
	public boolean isCreateButton() {
		return createButton;
	}
====
in form bean reset have 
               createButton = false;
======
Then in your action code you can test
		if (formBean.isCreateButton()) 
======
hope that helps
