At the risk of being flamed......
I've been very interested in struts for quite a while now. Actually tried using it for a project that I was recently working on. After many days of fighting with the struts-config.xml file the team decided to implement our own ModelII framework. We had this implemented in about a half a day. (Keep in mind we did not do anything with validation or internationalization.) We did not use anything like a config file . Essentially we used reflection to create the action class before calling into it. Making this work in this way has greatly speed up our development. It was very clear when the submit had the wrong class name in it. The answers I saw to the original post were in the vane that everyone else is using XML so why shouldn't we. I haven't seen a good technical reason for doing this. I would be VERY interested to understand the need for this file. In seems it introduces unnecessary complexity into an application and the same information can be retrieved from a more straight forward mechanism.
