OK, if you have some set of fields which you want to look for any value change, then I suggests using "hidden" fields for those desired properties, so that when form gets submitted, in server side, you can compare submitted TEXT FORM field with the original unchanged HIDDEN fields.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about such FORM utility for Struts.
And this *may* because, on each SUBMIT action, struts creates new instance of Action Form which has NO knowledge of previous Action Form rendered on EDIT page.
