I wondered "why not use chain?"
In Struts 1.3, you can specify a command in the <action> element which will be executed before Struts processes the action, forward, or include specified in the same element.
I haven't done anything about it yet, but I've kind of been expecting to add a similar kind of configuration value to forward elements. It is probably the most straightforward way to plug-in the kind of page-prep behavior that I've hacked in to other apps.
Since there is a DispatchCommand in commons-chain (the post 1.0, as yet unreleased version), you could achieve exactly this, with the only difference being that some of the configuration goes in another file -- a chain-config.xml
