I put together some code that allows Struts Actions to be written in the scripting language of one's choice rather than as Java classes. It uses the Beans Scripting Framework to allow scripts to be written in any language BSF supports like Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, BeanShell, and I believe even VBScript. Currently, I've hardcoded it to use BeanShell, but support for other languages will be soon coming.
In addition to the code, I modified the Struts example to exclusively use scripted Actions. I've never written BeanShell before today, so I'm sure there are plenty of areas to improve. As fate would have it, as I finished the struts-example demo, idle googling found another project doing the same thing in pretty much the same way: IBM Alphaworks Struts Scripting. Unfortunately, I don't believe IBM's license is exactly open source, so perhaps there is still a need for this project. If anyone knows anything further, please, do share.
