Michael, I'm currently building some functionality on top of Struts for a project. The way I found to do this the easiest was to keep my config in an XML file and use the commons digester in a Plugin. Plugin writing is very straight-forward, and there are a couple of standard examples (TilesPlugin/ValidatorPlugin) out there for you to look at. Personally, when I started in, I looked at the ValidatorPlugin. It's much shorter and covered everything I cared about.
