Answer 1

Instead of an if-case you could have a switch case, should you not want to take in every option as a new request mapping.

@RequestMapping(value="/edit", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView edit(@ModelAttribute SomeModel model, 
        @RequestParam(value="action", required=true) String action) {
    switch(action) {
        case "save":
            // do stuff
            break;
        case "cancel":
            // do stuff
            break;
        case "newthing":
            // do stuff
            break;
        default:
            // do stuff
            break;
    }
}
