I think BEA has acknowledged a bug in that jars residing in the Applicaiton ClassLoader (included in the EAR) won't be loaded. They have to be included in the EJB Jars that are placed in the EAR to be loaded and used by both EJB's and web apps. However as someone pointed out, the Struts classes shouldn't be needed from the EJBs so you could just include them in WEB-INF/lib. It works that way in my environment, but I certainly don't have them included anywhere besides the web app.
