What about using a custom RequestProcessor? It would be a huge hack, but you could map *everything* to struts action (map "/*" to struts action) and then check inside the request processor if it's a valid struts action, and if not, forward appropriately. Although the "appropriately" part is a bit of a hand-wave, as you need to forward the request back to the web server.
