2 buttons in one form - need help

Question

I created 2 buttons in one form [xxxx.jsp] .
Both have same action="xxxx.jsp" <=== I am validating the form in same page.
If the validations is true and if 1st button is pressed ,then it should go to yyy.jsp page .
If the validations is true and if 2nd button is pressed , then it should go to zzz.jsp.
form name=f2 action="main_menu_tech.jsp" method="GET">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<h3><font color="#008080"><b>Ticket ID</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="t1"></font>
</h3>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>nput type="submit" value="Search" name="button1"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Edit" name="button1"> </td
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*;"%>
<%! String tid; %>
<%tid=request.getParameter("t1");
session.setAttribute("ob2",tid);
if(tid!=null)
if(tid.equals(""))
{ %>
<br><br><br>
<h3 align="center"><font color="#008080"><% out.println("FILL IN ALL ENTRIES");%></h3>
<%
else
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("Select * from datacollectdb where ticketid='"+tid+"'");
if(rs.next())
if(request.getParameter("button1") =="search")
response.sendRedirect("display_ticket.jsp");
else if(request.getParameter("button1") =="edit" )
response.sendRedirect("edit_tdetail.jsp");
else
%>
<h3 align="center">
<font color="#008080">
<% out.print("Invalid Ticket Number");%>
<br>
<% out.print("Please try again with correct Ticket Number");%>
</font>
</h3>
<%
%>
The above code is not working. Any idea?
Please help me out!

Read the application server logs. My cents on an IllegalStateException.
To solve this, properly separate the business and controller logic from the presentation logic. Use a Servlet. Right now you're doing some business and controller logic while the presentation logic already has been run. This is asking for problems.
Not related to the problem, but you should also separate the data logic as well.
