Struts is model neutral. There are plenty tools out there for database
access, Castor, J2EE, Torque, JRelational, Expresso. There's no reason
for Struts to reinvent that wheel.
If you need a persistance layer ('cuz you don't got none), I'd suggest
starting with Expresso.

and

Struts provides a front controller, and a nifty JSP taglib to help you
access the controller's "model". It also provides a handy Action class,
where you can bridge the gap between the presentation and model layers.
But it does not provide a persistence layor or O/R modeling. See
http://husted.com/struts/links.htm#data_access
for more packages that do.
For searching and indexing, Lucene is highly recommended.

A new player in the game is Simper. Just getting started, but looks good
for Struts applications too.
