Yes, considering refactoring for an IOC container is on the RoadMap for 1.4. 

* http://struts.apache.org/roadmap.html

Both Don and I have had excellent luck refactoring for Spring, as has
Matt Raible. It's Craig's first preference for Shale, and I believe
the BeeHive crew is using it. Seems the obvious choice. :)

The very cool part is that, if you are careful, you can keep the IOC
container decoupled from the application, making it possible to plug a
different one in.
