I have done this and it works great. I load several struts-config.xml files into one mapping in the servlet.

I haven't actually tried this, but conceptually it should work -- could
someone please try it and confirm to the list?
The basic thought is that a single struts-config.xml file can actually
have more than one <struts-config> section in it. Given, this you can
logically divide your overall configuration into "modules" or whatever,
and have each development group maintain their own stuff in their own
struts-config.xml file. Then, when you deploy the app, part of the
process would be simply combining all the struts-config.xml files into a
single one (simple concatenation).
It's worth a shot ...
