Help with creating multiple events for a single button

Question

I have a basic gui that is used to view a query. There is a JTextArea where the infromation from the query displays. Now i also have JTextAFields that correspond to each column from the table that i am querying from. I have an edit button that will take the current query (which i have a reference to) and put in each JTextField the correct information (it re exectutes the query given the id of the current result in the query, and sets the text in each field).
All this works fine.. Now the text fields have been filled in, and the user can change them accordingly. I set the text of the edit button to say update, and i add an action listener within the current listener for that button.. When the update button is pressed, everything is fine.. However, after that, the listener has changed and i get exceptions everytime i press edit.. Below i have made it so that i create a new action when the edit button (named update that after they press it, it then displays update.. and the insert button changes to insert.. now an insert query is different than an update so i can't just enable only insert or anything like that).
is there any way to have 1 button that can do different things depending on the context? I can't figure out how to do it..
here is what i have as far as listeners for my buttons
          ButtonHandler buttonHandler = new ButtonHandler();
         exit.addActionListener(buttonHandler);
         first.addActionListener(buttonHandler);
         prev.addActionListener(buttonHandler);
         next.addActionListener(buttonHandler);
         last.addActionListener(buttonHandler);
          insert.addActionListener(new insertButtonAction());
          delete.addActionListener(new deleteButtonAction());
          update.addActionListener(new editButtonAction());
          rollback.addActionListener(new rollbackButtonAction());
          commit.addActionListener(new commitButtonAction());
          sendQuery.addActionListener(new sendQueryButtonAction());
     class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {  // this is a Controller class
       public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
          JButton b = (JButton)e.getSource();
          try {
             if (b==first) {
                if (result.first())
                   updateText();
             else if (b==prev) {
                if (result.previous())
                   updateText();
                else
                   prev.setEnabled(false);
             else if (b==next) {

              else if (b==last) {

                    updateText();

                 db.close();

App message delivery is not retried in B2B, rather failed messages are delivered to the IP_IN_QUEUE. Please enable the logging for B2B engine in TRACE 32 mode and run a test to reproduce the behaviour. Post the log here or mail across to my id (in my profile).
