I don't really know as i don't use dojo or the ajax tags for any more
for all the same reasons you're experiencing.
Dojo's event model is based on AOP concepts; which allows you to bind
functions to the event, before the event or after the event.
So you need a listener attached to before the unload event and tell it
to not proceed with the default operation...somehow...
If this was native javascript you'd simply call event.preventDefault()
Related example:
ie. So, if you were doing a confirm for a submit, the submit button
would publish a topic (/submit)
You attach a listener to the before /submit topic
It prompts "Are you sure?"
If they say no, you cancel the event by setting the event.cancel flag.
In the case of a beforeunload event caught via dojo...not sure. But if
you can get the listener invoked by dojo, then either the scope (this)
or the argument (event) will reference an event object that probably has
the cancel flag.
Otherwise you could try a e.preventDefault using plain old javascript if
you have a reference to the native event object.
The recipes below are for Dojo 0.4.x; so even though they use 2.1.x
tags, the javascript itself also works in Struts 2.0.x; you just have to
write the javascript yourself thats included by within the new tag widgets.

continue?");

dojo.event.topic.publish("/cancelNavigation");
//HOW TO CANCEL NAVIGATION??
}
}
onbeforeunload = function(e) {
if (formIsDirty(document.forms[0])) {
e.returnValue = "There are unsaved changes.";
}
}
</script>
When calling topic "/cancelNavigation" the event paremeter is
undefined... Do you know any way to cancel navigation? I mean, cancel
rendering the served page.

Using dojo.addOnUnload(function) neither works. Besides that, I
would need sht like dojo.addOnBeforeUnload, but it does not exist.
I don´t think I should subscribe for an ajax-request-completion
event, but for the beforeunload one, don´t I?
Thanks.
Use the dojo.connect function to listen to an arbitrary event. See
the comments to this related post:

I don't use it myself. Just pointing you in the right direction.
Also, if the script is inline within your ajax response, see the
recently updated notes on Handling AJAX Responses here:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax-tags.html
(its written for 2.1 but mostly applies)
I'd consider turning on separateScritpts as well.
