How can I call more than one Action from a HTML form?
For example, I have 3 buttons in my form: insert, delete and update. Is there any way I can use a parameter in each submit to call different Actions?
Thanks!

Hi Luciano,
as far as I do understand your question I would use just one Action containing a little logic to learn from the client what to do: delete, update or create. An alternative could be to create three different Actions called by three different forms on the client side.
Just my $0,02...

Read up on the DispatchAction and LookupDispatchAction on Ted Husted's Struts Tips website.

The way we do it is we dynamically rewrite the form's action attribute depending on which button was pressed and then post to a different action-mapping.
Using DispatchAction is a cleaner way of doing the same thing.
