If I ever had time to work on such a framework, I'd probably do it in the
Commons project at Apache, because it would be generally useful (both
inside and outside of Struts). Alas, given my work schedule, assuming I'd
have time for this is probably wishful thinking :-).
But, I'm curious why you think there would be any glue code needed? Isn't
it just a matter of using the persistence framework directly from your
DAOs (or from your Actions if you don't use DAOs)? At most, I could only
conceive of perhaps providing a Struts PlugIn to initialize such a
framework, but maybe I'm missing something.
What would definitely be useful is some example apps that illustrate how
apps can leverage things like this. There are several pointers in the
Resources pages to such things.
