Well, honestly, Struts has more to offer than you think. Since you're new to it, you should at least try reading Chuck Cavaness' chapters on the serverside.com. It's free. Be sure to setup a decent working environment while you are reading it. Go through each tutorial/sample and really dig into the code and see what's happening. Follow the threads from http request through the container into the framework and out to the jsp.
Word of advice. If you think "it would be nice if Struts does this". It has probably already been done or at least spec'd out. And if not, do it and contribute it back to the community. Later John!
