I've successfully worked around the problem by reconfiguring struts to
"lazy initialize" itself, meaning that every servlet first runs an init
method, which then checks the config and initializes it as
necessary. This way the application is no longer dependant on the order
in which the servlets initialize. Sure, the check adds a small amount of
overhead, but it truely is negligable.
