LookupDispatchAction and submit

Hi everyone,
 
I have a <html:form> in which i have several buttons like this:
 
        <html:submit property="actionType">
          <bean:message key="button.add"/>
        </html:submit>
        <html:submit property="actionType">
          <bean:message key="button.delete"/>
        </html:submit>
        <html:submit property="actionType">
          <bean:message key="button.update"/>
        </html:submit>
 
With the help of this I use the LookupDispatchAction which my Action
class extends. This works fine for my submit buttons.
 
My action-mapping
 
    <action path="/MyAction"
            type="com.mycompany.MyAction"
            name="myBean"
            parameter="actionType">
      <forward name="input" path="/pages/myPage.jsp"/>
    </action>

 
However, I also have a <html:text property="propKey" size="55"/> in the
same <html:form>. When the text field has focus and I press enter the
LookupDispatchAction does not work.This because the execute method of
LookupDispatchAction does not receive any value in the parameter
actionType. Is this a trap, that LookupDispatchAction cannot handle this
particular case?
 
Best regards
 
Lasse

Hello,

did you try putting a hidden input in your form with the name actionType and
a default value (which would map to one of your methods).
