I happened to see Phil's presentation to the JAVAWUG group in London last Friday. There are some interesting ideas here (and they would seem applicable in either a 1.x or 2.x Struts Action Framework context). I would suggest thinking about an optional layer (requires JDK 1.5) on top of the base framework that made available features like this ... similar in spirit to what the Tiger Extensions do in Shale.
