A solution in Struts v1.2.4 is at hand, too bad it's not some quick method
call like getPattern(). If you can figure out what I did, you can use it.
:) Seriously, I obtained a raw list of Action Mappings (unprocessed paths,
as in Struts config files), then I used a Struts util class WildCardHelper
to match the patterns, and viola!
WARNING: Since my webapp has only one struts config file, I haven't tested
this code with Modules. If it doesn't work and you have modules, you'll
have to figure out how to check the ActionConfig's in each module's
ModuleConfig (and how to get each modules ModuleConfig).
WARNING #2: Use the below code at your own risk.
WARNING #3: If I find you using my package name, I'm going to beat you with
my copy of Struts In Action! (Am I joking?)

Thanks for the pointer. I've been looking through the RequestProcessor
source without any luck so far. Maybe I'll stumble across it soon.
