If we use Guice for DI we get its AOP features too? Not sure what Guice offers for AOP but a before method point cut should allow you to return what ever you want while preventing the method from actually doing anything. Trick would be how to expose that... http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/wiki/AOP
Also once Guice is used I think the tags could stand for some DI, there are large daunting inheritance hierarchies within the struts2 tag implementations.
