Re: Multiple buttons with Dispatch Action
I'd like to ask about the LookupDispatchAction
If my action extends from LookupDispatchAction, can I use the execute method
In case the user request the Action Directly? not from clicking a button?
I want the action to do the following:
1- Load the page
2- When the user click on button X it will execute function X
3- When the user click on the button Y it will execute function Y
4- When the user click on the button Z it will execute function Z
I have another problem, the button Y,Z have the same value "add" how can I
distinguish between them?
Thanks for your help.

I think it will be better to change one of the buttons.
Anyway, Thank too much for your help.

Ah, that would be better; it would save having to write the methods
until they're called.
"Gah; I'm getting a page from the website. I have to write an action
method--hang on."

LOL, maybe we can work together on a LazyRandomDispatchAction
implementation?

Use my implementation of RandomDispatchAction, which will run a
pseudo-random method matching a given method signature on each action
execute.
Deterministic behavior is for the weak; we are strong.

No. LDA does a reverse lookup from the property value to the key (and
then from the key to the method name.) If there are two identical
values in your .properties file, how would it know which key to pick?

I'll solve the execute calling.
the problem is the class EventActionDispatcher comes with struts 1.2.9
I am using 1.2.8
Can I solve the problem of 2 buttons with the same name using
LookupDispatchAction ?

execute() is always called first.

Do not use LookupDispatchAction, use EventDispatchAction or even
better, EventActionDispatcher:
