Thanks Craig & Jason, Yes, the string in <display-name> can be queried via
this.getServlet().getServletContext().getServletContextName() from any Struts Action. Thanks very much.

Or, you might consider using the Commons Digester package (included with Struts), which is what Struts itself uses to parse this very resource, in order to figure out how the controller servlet is mapped. Looking at the source code for ActionServlet should give you some useful clues.
