This is kind of a trick question, or at least a trick subject.
In a Struts application, the best practice for database access is for Struts to be unaware that there is even such a thing as a database. If you are using the Struts best practice, then it shouldn't matter whether the database example is in a Struts application or not.
The Struts Mailreader demonstrates an excellent practice for database access. It defines an POJO interface with the methods that accept and/or return the data that the application needs. The Actions expect that singleton instances of these plain-old Java objects will be in application scope under a known name. The Actions speak only to the interface. A Struts PlugIn loads an implementation of the interfaces into application scope under the expected names, and we are ready to rock.
The POJO JavaBeans can be implemented using whatever technology you like. They should not know there are living in a Struts application, or even a Web application, and should be fully testable. You should be able to write them using stock examples for your chosen technology, blissfully unaware of whether they will be used by Struts or not.
