Can anyone suggest what is the best way to being thinking about struts initially so you aren't lost within the framework?
I am beginning to work with struts. I understand the concepts of the action servlet along with the jsps and beans. My problem is that I am finding it very difficult to track down issues and make changes. For example, I have a page that doesn't render properly. It use to be that I could go in and look at the code figure out what needed to be done. Now, I have tag libs and unfamiliar objects that I'm searching through.
Is there an area in which I should expend energy in first in learning this framework such as the tag libs or another area.
Thanks for any input.

You should understand the main framework first, the MVC model-view-control structure. Taglibs are a bit of a side-show.
Action mappings as declared in the struts-config.xml file are very important.

I agree with Adam. You will see the benefits of using Struts even before you start really digging into the tag library.
