To be able to run Struts 2 on Websphere 6.1, you definitely need to set 
com..ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokeFiltersCompatibility for the custom properties 
of your server.

However, once the flag is set, you will not be able to access any action 
directly once container security is turned on. That is only for Struts 2.1.x. 
Struts 2.0.11 or 2.0.12 should be okay.
