Hi,

I'm studying EJB3.

I have a session bean which provides services to create/update customer accounts.

This session bean offers services on the lines of:

public void addCustomer(Customer c);
public void updateCustomer(Customer c);

Ideally I'd like to have a single servlet: CustomerServlet and it would invoke the session beans that I have listed above.

Problem is that I have two JSPs: UpdateAccount.jsp and CreateAccount.jsp. Both of these JSPs have a form with a method POST and action "CustomerServlet".

How can I distinguish in a customer servlet which operation I should carry out: createAccount or updateAccount?

I guess the alternative is to have a separate servlet for each operation...

Thank you
