You could change the action with javascript to point to different validating actions depending on what you click

struts-config:

<form path=/ValidateUpdate" validate="true" type="myClass" name="myForm" scope="request"/>
<form path=/ValidateSave" validate="true" type="myClass" name="myForm" scope="request"/>


jsp:

<html:form onsubmit="retur n getAction(this) " method="post" action="/ValidateSave">
<html:hidden name="myForm" property="submi tValue"/>
<html:button onclick="setSub mitValue('save' )" name="myForm" property="save" value="save"/>
<html:button onclick="setSub mitValue('updat e')" name="myForm" property="updat e" value="update"/>
</html:form>

js

function getAction(f){
var submitVal = document.getEle mentById("submi tValue").value;
if(submitVal==' update')
f.action.value = "/ValidateUpdate. do";
else
f.action.value = "/ValidateSave.do ";
return true;

}

function setSubmitValue( val){
document.getEle mentById("submi tValue").value = val;
}
