Hi Wendy, I understand your dilemma. I typically use a stylesheet tag that I wrote about a year ago to solve this.
While there are a couple of ways to handle this, I find this the cleanest. The sourceforge.net site is down for maintenance right now, but the cvs viewer is working: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/struts/struts-atlanta/ You can find the tld and the source there. It allows you to do this: <util:styleSheet href="/stylesheets/struts-atlanta.css"/> and it will prepend your application prefix.
