Link Visualforce Button to an Apex code class

Is it possible to link the action of a button submit action to a Apex class?
 
Thanks

I think it is possible to do this, however you will need to have a function in your controller which is called by your button.  This function can then call the Apex Class function.

Example Code:

Visualforce Page:
Code:
<apex:commandButton action="{!myAction}" value="Clicky" />

 Controller:
Code:
public void myAction()
{
MyApexClass.doSomething();
}

 
Apex Class:
Code:
public class MyApexClass
{

public static void doSomething()
{
// Some code goes here
}

}

 

Is this what you were looking for?
