database access should be done into DAO (Data Access Objects) with CRUD methods (CReate Update Delete), having beans as parameters and return values. Some call those beans 'domain model beans'.
DAO should have a way to get a JDBC connection according to current transaction. You can pass a connection as a method argument (ugly, isn't it ?), or use something like springframework to handle transactions and jdbc connections for you. DAO are used by business objets that have 'hi level' business methods. Your actions use this BO to get or update datas.

Where the jdbc connection should stay within a struts application? And how to populate a javabean from the database and let the action class know? Thanks, Xinhua Our name has changed.
