Answer 1

You can by using JavaScript, and changing form's action attribute dynamically. If this is your form:
<form id="myform" action="#" onsubmit="return pickDestination();">
<input type="submit" name="sbmitbtn" value="edit" onclick="document.pressed=this.value"/>
<input type="submit" name="sbmitbtn" value="reset" onclick="document.pressed=this.value"/>
</form>
Then your pickDestination JS function would look like:
function pickDestination()
{
var a = "/user/" + document.pressed;
document.getElementById("myform").action = a;
return true;
}

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not very familiar with spring applications, however in many other java based MVC systems I've accomplished this by simply giving my submit buttons a name and parsing off this in the action class by checking the request.
For example find which submit button was used by it's parameter name, call the appropriate methods. The following is an example of a struts based solution I use on occasion. If you can access the servlet request object in your spring controller, you could do something similar.
#Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
try {
// Check the request for a someone clicking the logout submit button
if (found("logout")) {
user.logout(); //invoke the logout method
session.remove("user");
return SUCCESS;
}
// Check the request for a someone clicking the login submit button
if (found("login")) {
user.login();
session.put("user", user);
return "login";
}
// Catch any login exceptions
} catch (Exception e) {
user = null;
addActionError(e.getMessage());
return INPUT;
}
return SUCCESS;
}
// The following method checks for a request paramater based on the key (String)
// provided. If the key is not found or the value for the parameters is empty, it
// returns false;
private boolean found(String param) {
Object temp = request.getParameter(param);
if (temp != null) {
if (temp.toString().isEmpty()) {
return false;
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
