A submit button will forward to the page listed in the form tag, of course. What you need is some java script to add on a query parameter to that url and a "central" site that forwards the request to the proper page based on that parameter.

Hi Sasi,

You need to use javascript to dynamically change the action of your form.
And i also noticed that you are trying to use one form within another form.
And i am not sure whether it will work.
Here i'm posting an example of how to dynamically change your action.
See whether it is helpful or not.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onsubmitform()
{
 if(document.pressed == 'insert')
  {
   document.f1.action ="check.jsp";
  }
  else
  if(document.pressed == 'update')
  {
    document.f1.action ="check2.jsp";
  }
  return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="f1" onsubmit="return onsubmitform();">
<select name="tool" id="tool">
    <option value=kim>KIM</option>
    <option value=ontomat>Ontomat Annotizer</option>
    <option value=gate>GATE</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="s1" onclick="document.pressed=this.value" value="insert" />
 
<input type="submit" name="s2" onclick="document.pressed=this.value" value="update" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

The check.jsp and the check2.jsp can contain the code which you want to execute upon clicking that button. It is not necessary to be jsp page, it can also be an html page.
Try using this for your problem and let me know if it is solved. Else try to explain your problem more clearly.

Regards,
Rakhi
