We've been running struts 2 apps as standalone and portlet using the same
code/war file for a long time. We do use the portlet plugin and include 2
different struts.xml configurations using different namespaces. For example our
struts.xml file includes each configuration using includes as follows:
struts.xml
<struts>
...
<!-- Include the various configurations -->
<include file="struts-standalone.xml"/>
<include file="struts-portlet.xml"/>
struts-standalone.xml
<struts>
...
<!-- Configuration for the standalone package. -->
<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/sa">
struts-portlet.xml (this one includes a reference to the portletDefaultStack
inteceptor)
<struts>
...
<!-- Configuration for the portlet package. -->
<package name="portlet-default" extends="struts-portlet-default"
namespace="/portlet">
This all works fine and has a lot of advantages. The portlet plugin has never
caused any issues with our standalone webapp either.
If you need more information on how we do this, I'd be happy to share details.

Subject: Re: Struts2 Portlet with Servlets
As I understand at the same time you want to have the same web app
exposed as portlet and as as a normal Struts2 app? It isn't possible
to do in one Struts 2 app as attaching The Struts Portlet Plugin
enables portlet integration for the whole app and some internals are
changed (eg. how urls are rendered). You can use the same action in
portlet and non-portlet app but not at the same time - you must remove
portlet plugin to use it in non-portlet environment.
