I speak as a newbie here, but I wonder if there is a way to setup struts-config.xml to expect an action that looks something like "/whatever.xls", and then map that to a servlet that would create an excel file. I know that Internet Exploiter plays a lot friendlier when the mime type is actually a part of the URL (.xls in this case), so that might be a way. I would like to hear what some of the other more seasoned Struts developers would think of such a concept. If this won't work at all -- my bad!
