The standard approach is to create an Action for each of your JSP's and visit that before displaying the page. In the Action, you can make the database retreival and populate the ActionForm properties relating to the HTML controls. For list boxes, there is a handy LabelValue class in the Example Application which you can use. Using a custom tag to do this in a view would violate MVC principles, and would not be something you would find in the Struts distribution ;-) Though, our friends at Jakarta Taglibs offer a dbTags set that could be used for this sort of thing ...
