Any examples(in books, links, articles et al) providing usage of ejbs with struts out there? I know it is possible and would be a good arch..but have not seen a single example to-date using the two.

Chapter 13 in the upcoming book, Mastering Jakarta Struts, with an example of a application that uses Struts and EJBs. There's a draft available online: http://www2.theserverside.com/resources/strutsreview.jsp This hasn't been posted here yet, but here's an upcoming Tip on using EJBs with Struts: http://husted.com/struts/tips/018.html -Ted.
