Ted Husted has links tutorials, example webapps, and
code (custom tags, etc.).
http://www.husted.com/about/struts/
"A Walking Tour of Struts" (at the bottom) walks you
through the Struts example webapp.
http://www.husted.com/about/struts/scaffolding.htm
If you want to stay pure MVC, then you can have your
home page go through the controller servlet.
Struts has a connection pool that you can use for
database connections. You configure it in the
struts-config.xml file.
