I understand what you're trying to do, I don't understand what specific aspect you're having a problem with. You said you implemented the action with a hard-coded list. An action that uses a database instead is almost exactly the same, but it accesses a database instead of using a hard-coded list. The Struts 2.0 autocompleter docs [1] summarize the usage of the tag; the action will be called with the current value in the text box. You use that partial value to do a database search (or filter an existing list, or however you'll implement that part).
