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="return getAction(this)" method="post" action="/ValidateSave">
<html:hidden name="myForm" property="submitValue"/>
<html:button onclick="setSubmitValue('save')" name="myForm" property="save" value="save"/>
<html:button onclick="setSubmitValue('update')" name="myForm" property="update" value="update"/>
</html:form>

js

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

}

function setSubmitValue(val){
document.getElementById("submitValue").value = val;
}
