Wrox also has a great JSP book that covers Struts: Professional JSP Site Design. And there's a book called JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development from New Riders that has several chapters on Struts that I found useful when I started with struts a couple of months ago.
Two months ago I had no Java, JSP, Servlet, or Web application development experience. I DID have 5 years of distributed OO development experience with Forte. I am finding the transition to be smooth. Starting all these technologies at once can be daunting, but it can be done.
