I'm not using Struts for a very long time now, but I think this is NOT the way to do this.
In your ActionForm bean called User I would put the getter/setter methods. In your UserBO (User Business Object) I would put the methods that make use of the UserDAO (User Data Access Object). The UserBO is only for handling the business logic in your form/application. The UserDAO actually executes the real SQL queries or XML update functions. So, User extends ActionForm and is really a simple mapping of your form in your application. In your Action class (belonging to this User form) you map the User bean and give it as an argument with any function of your UserBO object which will execute the desired action (update/create/delete etc.). Hope I helped you a bit. Maybe other people have better solutions, but this is the way I handle actions....... Good luck........
