I have created a new issue in JIRA (http://jira.opensymphony.com/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=WW-326) and submitted a new servlet that extends ServletDispatcher and provides such a functionality. I also provided a way to shorten even more the URL by assuming that if the first parameter name is not specified then it is supposed to be the name of the action.
This allows to replace the following URL http://myhost.com/article/article/123 with this URL http://myhost.com/article/123. Any code review welcomed! :-p Jérôme.
