Hi Amith,
"Beans" is a very generic term. But used with Struts, beans generally refers to the ActionForm. Without "this bean(ActionForm)" it is not posible to use Struts as Struts framework calls this 'Bean' from the ActionClass.
Beans are otherwise POJOs that may be used anywhere in any application.
Hope it helps you.

Hi Amith,
Please note <bean:message> is used for wrtitng from the application properties file. But <bean:write> is used in conjunction with <logic resent>, <logic:iterate> to write on a JSP from a collection that is in ActionForm.
Example:<bean:message>
---------------
<bean:message key="label.search.name"/>:
<html:text property="fname"/>

this is same as:
Name:
<html:text property="fname"/>

Application Properties file
label.search.name=Name
--------------------------------
<bean:write>

<logic:iterate id="anyname" name="searchForm" property="results">
<tr>
<td><bean:write name="anyname" property="name"/></td>
<td><bean:write name="anyname" property="ssNum"/></td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>

the ActionForm would have a collection as:

public void setResults(List results) {
this.results = results;
}

Thus it is used to write the dynamic values on the JSP..
Hope it helps..

Hi Amith,
It would be unfair to do spoon feeding as you would always feel uncomfortable in Struts. Please go through a basic struts tutorial and ask for specfic problem.

Happy coding.
