Using a servlet filter would be the easiest way to implement something like this (no change required to your application or to Struts), but I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone would want to spend the extra server side processing cycles for doing this. It won't have any affect on the semantics of the HTML page, and won't even be visible to a browser user unless they use the "View Source" option.
If you're interested in this solely to reduce the number of whitespace characters, you'd be better off designing a filter that just focused on collapsing those (which will run a lot faster than a general HTML tidying application). Alternatively, if your client browser support processing compressed responses, you might look at using a Filter that applies compression on the entire response stream, thereby reducing the number of bytes sent down the wire. Tomcat has an example filter in its source code that does exactly this sort of thing.
