I suggest AjaxTags from Java Web Parts:

http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net

Hit the javadocs link, then jump to the taglib package, the documentation
for the package should give you a good idea what its all about, then you
can grab the JWP distro and try out the sample app for some working
examples of what is possible.  This is, I believe, the easiest way to add
AJAX to any Java-based webapp app, be it Struts or otherswise, especially
for those that don't want to touch Javascript at all.  Yes, I wrote it :)

If you want to get a feel for doing naked AJAX (i.e., just plain
Javascript) within a Struts app specifically, I suggest:

http://struts.sourceforge.net

Check out the AjaxChat application (yes I wrote that too!).  You already
said you don't want to write all the Javascript though, so that migth be
of less interest than AjaxTags may be.

I also wrote an introductory article to AJAX:

http://www.omnytex.com/articles

It deals with Struts as well, but to a lesser extent.  Again though, you
would do the coding yourself, so might not be what you want anyway.

Feel free to fire any questions at me if you decided to use AJAX, in
whatever way.
