Welcome to the darkside of being the world's most popular web application framework. :)
IMHO, the very best way to handle easy questions is with a link to the answer.

Simple, efficient, and to the point. Once you've pointed them at once answers, perhaps they can start finding the others on their own :)
If the answer doesn't exist as a link, a very good approach would be to create a wiki page and then link to that. Like bugzilla, the wiki is open to all comers. You don't have to be a Committer to post.
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?StrutsProjectPages
For questions not directly related to Struts, one of the links on the preface page will usually be on task:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/preface.html
