I had a similar problem once, an action needing to call a client's NT executable to generate a file to be emailed to someone. This isn't really a struts problem though.
CGI only means it's an application that takes it parameters on the command line and prints whatever it wants to be displayed in the browser, so it shouldn't be incredibly tough to call the script. You could put it on some hidden/secure place on your web server, and make your own properly formed http call to it from your action. If making an http call to an app that technically doesn't need http to work offends you, you can probably call it directly with the Runtime class, but at that moment, you've made yourself dependent on your underlying OS.
