 with a link in the login form to create a new account. There is nothing 
 in struts though that will address this issue directly.

Check the appfuse application.  Matt pretty much does everything
that is possible when using container managed security and struts.
By that I mean, if he doesn't do it in appfuse it is darn near
impossible, so definitely check it out.

It is not enough to succeed.  Others must fail.
