Getting database value to display it on JSP

Question

I would like to retrieve database value from a table.

let's say i have table_message that looks like this :

| ID  |    KEY       |  MESSAGE           | 
| 1   | app.label1   |  Your First Name   |
| 2   | app.label2   |  Your Last Name    |  

then i would like to get Your First Name and Your Last Name through app.label1 and app.label2 using a jsp ( i use struts 2 framework ) that might look like this.

<s:textfield label="app.label1" name="firstName"/>
<s:textfield label="app.label2" name ="lastName"/>

those textfields should populate with label Your First Name and Your last Name without requiring *.properties file. Is it possible ? if yes could you show me how to do that or give an example or any references ?

thanks
