use ssl or create an "outer" html-doc containing one frame in that frame call your struts-application.
In the address-field of the browser you will only see the url with which you call the "outer" html-doc...
Still leaves you vulnerable to a skilled hacker, but protects the url from tha standard users...
On clickable links specify "alt-texts" and write something to the browsers status-line, else the link-address will be shown there...

Have you seen what DispatchAction can do for you?

Yes, and that bothers you?

WHAT?!?!?
Expose what to hackers? The HTTP request string? If you want to get away from HTTP request string, you need to get away from HTTP. Your closest option is to "POST" everything, but that still leaves you vulnerable. I could (if I were sniffing your network) capture and read a "POST" as easily as I could a "GET".
Consider using SSL.
