Before anyone does dash off and write this, I'd like to have a brief discussion about this in relation to multi-module applications, and removing any need to modify web.xml when adding or removing modules. This is something I did in a project about a year ago, very successfully, so I think it's worth adding to the Struts core. In a similar vein, I'd like to talk about separating out the config reading somewhat, to allow for alternative mechanisms. Unfortunately, I'm about to go off to a 4-hour meeting ;-( so I can't expound further right now.
