There are a lot of questions raised around Cocoon and Struts, but few
(if any) answers of how to combine the two - FAQ-food?. I am now in the
process of attempting the combination and not being very knowledgeable
in either Cocoon, Struts, JSP, I feel at times pretty lost. Could
someone help me out?

The setup is as follows on a Win2K platform:
I have deployed Cocoon 2.0.3 in tomcat 4.0.4 environment, i.e. placed
the cocoon.war file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory. The
"welcome-page", http://localhost:8080/cocoon, confirms that Cocoon and
Tomcat function OK together.

A Cocoon-testapplication resides on
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/myapp/, xml- and xsp-docs in subdirectory
resources/ and stylesheets (xsl) in subdirectory styles/. A
Hello_user.xml with matching hello_user.xsl pipeline functions OK.

To test a similar Struts setup, we have created a new application
subdirectory myjspapp, under cocoon/ in which Struts' WEB-INF/-directory
reside with:
- compiled classes in subdirectories/files - for both Actions and Forms
- modified files struts-config.xml and other struts-*.tld-files,
web.xml-file
- lib/-directory with castor-0.9.3.21.jar, castor-0.9.3.21-xml.jar and
struts.jar. Note: I have also copied these jar-files to
cocoon/WEB-INF/lib/
- src/-directory.

A Hello_user.jsp-file (with a Hello_user.html-file) reside in the root
of myjspapp uses the abovementioned hello_user.xsl-file. The pipeline I
attempt to use looks like this:

  <map:pipeline>
   <map:match pattern="hellojsp">
    <map:generate src="myjspapp/hello_user.jsp" type="jsp"/>
    <map:transform src="myapp/styles/hello_user.xsl"/>
    <map:serialize type="html"/>
   </map:match>

This setup fails. The errormessage I get is: 
"org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: ServletException in
JspGenerator.generate(): javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find
ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection"

My guess is that the Struts-parts require access/setup of the
struts-config.xml-file, but how do I do that? Is there something I
should setup in Cocoon's cocoon.xconf-file or Cocoon's web.xml-file?
