You need to define a javascript , with confirm option , and depending upon the user choice( i.e Yes or No ) , you get your return value ..
Now passed this return value with request object, where your Action class retrieve it and depending on it you delete the row .

Hope this Help ..

Execute the following function when the user clicks on the 'Delete' button.

function confirmation() {
var answer = confirm("Delete this record?")
if (answer){
// Perform action for 'OK'.
}
else{
// Perform action for 'Cancel'.
}
}

Add onclick attribute to the anchor tag to invoke the above posted JS function, inside the function when the condition satifies have document.location='yourAction.do?' which would invoke the appropriate action.
