Well you can use 2 qeual length arrays
String[] fldName = {"userName","userMail","userAddress"};
String[] fldValue= new String[3];
// now fill up the fldValue
for (int i = 0; i <fldName.length;i++ )
{
if (fldValue[i].equals(""))
{
out.println("<b>You did not fill in "+ fldName[i] + "</b>");
break;
}
}
