1. your bean should extend to Action Bean. 2. you can have a field in form bean which you can use to display that your DB has been updated 3. you can use javascript or bean:write to display along with logic:equal

I can add and manipulate data through the command prompt using an instance of that bean in a test class which can be executed from the command prompt. I want to use this bean in the struts framework. Now where do i instanciate that bean, in the bean extended from the FormAction Bean or the Action bean. Its just a simple insertion from the form. Now what i think is that i am supposed to instansiate my business logic bean that plays with the DB in the class extended from the ActionForm. Currently my action in the struts-config.xml has been mapped to the same page as the page that sends the data to the tomcat server. The following will ellaborate more clearly. <form-beans> <form-bean name="logonActionForm" type="port.logonActionForm" /> </form-beans> <action-mappings> <action name="logonActionForm" type="port.logonAction" validate="true" scope="session" path="/logonAction" /> </action-mappings> Now when i add the User in the DB and am redirected to the login page again, i want it to display that my DB has been updated. Any suggestions??? I am new to the struts and Java thing, so bear with me.
