1: You can get data source in your action class : DataSource ds = (DataSource)servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY) ; 2: You can use response's PrintWriter to display your out to the user directly.

Plus I want the servlet to get DataSource from Action class servlet field like: javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = servlet.findDataSource(null); My question is is it possible to send output from Action directly to a user, without redirecting to any jsp's? Other way to do that would be to use ordinary servlet, but how can I get the DataSource which is in struts configuration then? -- Best regards, Maciej
