This fully-documented Struts/BC4J demo called the "BC4J Toy Store"
should help out significantly in this department.
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/jdev/bc4jtoystore/content.html
The accompanying whitepaper called "Building a Web Store with Struts and BC4J"
dissects the working demo and explains all of the moving parts and how they work.
