Dear All, I have a form with multi submit buttons like this

<FORM NAME="form1" METHOD="POST" Action="SomePage.jsp">
        <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Button 1">

        <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Button 2">

        <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Button 3">
    </FORM>

It's just by its name available as request parameter as well.

String submit = request.getParameter("submit");

result here will always be null – mugume david Jan 14 '15 at 09:42
@mugumedavid: just ask a question if you want it solved. – BalusC Jan 14 '15 at 09:44
@mugumedavid — It will not be `null`. A clicked submit button will with a name and value will be included in the form data just like any other successful form control. – Quentin Jan 14 '15 at 13:43
@Quentin you are correct. This will work on servlets. Will upvote – mugume david Jan 14 '15 at 13:50
