If you combine DispatchAction [1] with wildcards introduced in Struts 1.2,
you can do something very similar:
<action
path="/*/*"
type="foo.bar.{1}Controller"
parameter="{2}">
<forward
name="success"
path="/{1}/{2}.jsp"/>
</action>
Then in Struts 1.3, we added the ability to pass multiple values to your
action, rather than just one through the "parameter" attribute, which takes
you the rest of the way:
<action
path="/*/*/*"
type="foo.bar.{1}Controller"
parameter="{2}">
<set-property key="id" value="{3}" />
<forward
name="success"
path="/{1}/{2}.jsp"/>
</action>
