As Colin points out, the key requirement for a distributable app is that the
beans you store in the session (for example, all of your ActionForm beans) must
implement Serializable.  This is not currently the case for the Struts example
app, but can be easily made so by simply adding "implements Serializable" to all
of the appropriate classes.  I will do this for 1.0.
