How to get af:commandbutton id in java code when it is triggered?

Question

Hi All
In my application's homepage, I am using 2 af:commandbuttons and each using action attribute to call a method. Both are calling the same method, and based on its id, it should perform different operations. Could anyone please tell me how to get command buttons id in java code, when it is triggered.
Regards
Venkat

Venkat,
why not call different methods from each button?
public String actionButton1()
return doAction("button1");
public String actionButton2()
return doAction("button2");
public String doAction(String aBuuton)
if ("button1".equalsIgnoreCase(aButton))
// do work for button 1
return "abc";
}else {
// do work for button 2
return "abc";
}Now you user actionbutton1 for the first button and actionButton2 for the second.
Or you directly implement two different methods in the bean and call each one directly from the button.
