I fixed your code tags for you.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Still it is working fine." What is working?
Is it because you can find the request parameter searchKeyword?
Struts is built on the standard HTML form processing functionality. It does not replace that functionality, so you can still get request parameters via the
Servlet API. Struts makes it easier by packaging all the relevant request parameters in an object. It is even easier with Struts 2, which disposes of Form Beans and uses POJO's.
