what i did is: my backing page is extended with object for support of switching those colors. so it will return diferent string (the one(s) defined in css for both colors). So in my for loop I have tags that return different names (every second time till end of loop).

you can change the style of the row with

<tr style="background:#C0C0C0">

If you are wrting out the rows with the server side code, then do a mod(%) check with the current row count and alternate the colors.

There is a way to do it with JavaScript, but it is better to do it on the server side.

Here is some row alternating code from Ted Husted's Struts FAQ :
<% int count=0; %>
<struts:iterate id="row" name="currentReport" property="data" >
<tr BGCOLOR='<%= (count++ % 2==0 ?"#FFFFAA":"#EEEEEE") %>' >
<td> <%= count %> </td>
<struts:iterate id="item" collection="<%= row %>" >
<td nowrap align=MIDDLE > <%=(item).toString() %> </td>
</struts:iterate>
</tr>
</struts:iterate>

Folks should really embrace the 21st century and use CSS. HTML 3.2 is dead (or at least I wish it was!) I use class="odd" and class="even" for my alternating table rows and then include something like the following in the CSS file:

A pretty yucky effect with those colours but, hey!
If you crowbar that into Julia's scary Struts example you can really - um - strut your stuff! :roll:
