Since this is essentially error text you are talking about, I think the easiest way to handle this is through Struts's error tags:
<html:text property="username" ... /> <html:errors property="username"/> Where there is an error on "username," you add a new ActionError with a message key like "error.field.icon" or something, and the value of that key is just HTML that generates the icon. So you would have this in your ApplicationResources.properties file: error.field.icon=<img src="error_icon.gif" /> The drawback then is that you really can't add any other errors on "username" or else the display would mess up. We used this approach on a project and it worked well.
