Well, that's not quite true, is it? I mean, look at this signature for Action.execute:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
You can't really use that outside of a servlet container. This is not a knock to Struts; it was never designed to be a general purpose MVC model. But noone is going to write a Swing app using Struts, for example.
