I am not really a Java Guru, but have made the experience that in effect the name "Bean" is - in the context of Struts-based Webapps - really nothing more than a POJO following the naming conventions of JavaBeans for getters/setters.
With respect to the "middle layer", it really pays off to separate "model", "view", and "controller" and possibly separate the persistency layer from the model as well.
