As a core contributor for Expresso Framework I find this discussion interesting.

In Expresso one of the contributors put together a XML Augmentator that parse
several XML configuration files. We integrated Struts 1.0.2 so we do not have
a special notation of sub applications, but just the one struts-config file, but
we can have several *expresso-struts-config* files.
If the expresso-strut config implement the same XML DTD then in theory they can 
merged together internally in a giant DOM. This is what I think the contribotor 
( Mike Rimov, I think) did for Expresso. I am not sure how it solves the modules 
problem though in pure Struts.

I have a little difficult understanding the terminology here.
Is a module the same as a subapplication?

I can see a might have a little bit work ahead of me, when I start trying to
integrate Struts 1.1 with the latest Expresso if I do not under all the
sub application issues.

For Expresso it will make sense to subapplications to know about the default 
application (which is in our case Expresso). A sub application should be able
to find out about sub applications also loading into the system. But hey may be
I am way of base here. TRYING TO KEEP TEXT SHORT, TOO MUCH STRAIN ON MY EYES.
