I think it was added subsequent to the release of 1.1-beta-1, but I know that in the current nightly builds you should be able to call RequestUtils.selectApplication() yourself, during the execution of an Action. This should cause any subsequent operations (including interpretation of things like mapping.findForward()), to be interpreted against the new sub-app instead of the old one.
