You can also declare resource-refs etc in your web.xml.
I think if you switched to jsf you'd be able to use annotations in
your managed beans. I can't say I understand how or if struts and jsf
relate.
Thinking about the annotations-in-jsps issue I don't think we are
likely to support it directly since it would either involve analyzing
the jsp source (not going to happen IMO) or analyzing the jsp classes
as they are loaded (which would involve reversing the philosophy
behind geronimo deployment, namely we try to analyze everything at
deploy time, not run time). You can probably get them to work now by
precompiling the jsps. We might be able to support them by compiling
jsps at deploy time. However this would not work with hot
redeployment of changed jsps.

@Resource(name="jdbc/EBSDS")

One easy trick is to create a single servlet class and annotate it
with all the things you need. Since all injected resources also
wind up in JNDI and everything in the webapp shares the same JNDI
context, you can use it as a clever way to declare resources that
you need in your JSPs.
For example, with the @Resource usage you have above, you can lookup
via JNDI in your JSP as follows:
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) context.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/
EBSDS");
