java - Thymeleaf multiple submit button in one form -

i have fragment of html page 1 form , 2 button:

<form action="#" data-th-action="@{/action/edit}" data-th-object="${model}" method="post">      <button type="submit" name="action" value="save">save</button>      <button type="submit" name="action" value="cancel">cancel</button> </form> 

and controller:

@requestmapping(value="/edit", method=requestmethod.post) public modelandview edit(@modelattribute somemodel model,          @requestparam(value="action", required=true) string action) {      if (action.equals("save")) {         // here          }      if (action.equals("cancel")) {        // thing     }     return modelandview; } 

this work good, if have more button, must add more if statement check action string. there way can create one action each button in form?

you can create separate methods different @requestmappings using params variable.

@requestmapping(value="/edit", method=requestmethod.post, params="action=save") public modelandview save() {}   @requestmapping(value="/edit", method=requestmethod.post, params="action=cancel") public modelandview cancel() {}
