Hi :

One simple solution is that onclick of the button you can use java script and set the action accordingly.
You can pass the button name in the function and check it,if it is delete it should be delete action otherwise submit action or whatever you want.
I think this would help.

Do a Google search on "Struts DispatchAction", and you will find a lot of articles that will help you. The DispatchAction class was designed specifically for this type of processing.

Here is one article:

If You use image buttons for different actions (using ImageButtonBean) one ActionClass can be used for different actions.

In your JSP
<html:form action="/ManageAction">
<html:image property="saveButton" src="logonsubmit.jpg" alt="save" />
<html:image property="deleteButton" src="deletesubmit.jpg" alt="delete" />
</html:form>


In your ActionForm

private ImageButtonBean saveButton = new ImageButtonBean();
private ImageButtonBean deleteButton = new ImageButtonBean();

public void setSaveButton(ImageButtonBean button) {
this.saveButton = button;
}

public ImageButtonBean getSaveButton() {
return this.saveButton;
}

public void setDeleteButton(ImageButtonBean button) {
this.deleteButton = button;
}

public ImageButtonBean getDeleteButton() {
return this.deleteButton;
}


public String getSelected() {

if (getSaveButton().isSelected()) {
return "save";
}

if (getDeleteButton().isSelected()) {
return "delete";
}

return null;
}

In your ActionClass

String selected = manageForm.getSelected();
if ("save".equals(selected)) {
//do something
return forward = mapping.findForward("savethankyou");
}
else if ("delete".equals(selected)) {
//do something
forward = mapping.findForward("deletethankyou");
}
else{
forward = mapping.findForward("error");
}


in your struts-config.xml
<form-bean name="manageForm" type="your.package.forms.ManageForm">
</form-bean>

<action name="manageForm" path="/ManageAction" scope="request" type="your.package.actions.ManageAction" validate="false" >

<forward name="deletethankyou" path="/deletethankyou.jsp"/>
<forward name="savethankyou" path="/savethankyou.jsp"/>
<forward name="error" path="/error.jsp"/>
</action>
