You can also try the Providers Framework that we have posted to the
sourceforge (http://providers.sourceforge.net).
It was developed to solve the problem that you described. With this
framework you define your collections on a XML file, and then you can
use it through select tag (of struts) using de "optionsTag" provided
with the framework.
The collections could be defined to be retrieved from DataSource or
Fixed Collections.
The DataSource definition is something like ...
query
select * from cities
Then in your JSP you use this collection (named 'cities') like this

Nicolás

John, why not retrieve these from the DB at application start up time
and place them in the ServletContext where they are accessible for the
life time of the application and easily rendered by JSTL or Struts tags.
