I understand now. first create a bean-form that it has as many properties as u want to show. then declare it in the struts-config at top of the file. then, in the action declaration, with the atribute name, tell that this action uses the bean-from u declered previously. then in the action that calls the page that show the data u want to show, populate the bean-form with the data that come in the DTO. finally in the jsp you use the html:text as i told u before. luck!
