We discovered the limit of the action mapping capability early on with one project I was doing and actually wrote a new mapper that matched based on subsets of the full pathinfo string. We ended up not using struts for that project, but enhancing the action map matching was pretty useful. Our big problem was using something that was not part of the core struts distribution and it was apparent our changes were far too late to make into a possible 1.1 feature.
