So it would appear that your servlet engine is also serving as your primary HTTP stack? running on port 80? If you ran Apache on port 80 instead and used ajp-proxy for your struts requests, then you could just serve all your static resources directly from apache.
Now, if you want an integrated security model that covers your Struts and static resources then things can get sticky. It might be worthwhile to serve your static files from your J2EE container if I can easily protect them with a Spring Security configuration, rather than integration with the Apache auth. A very common technique for getting some performance boost is to actually serve your static resources from a different server, so that requests for these (images, stylesheets, etc) don't take up threads on your application server... Rails has a nice switch for doing this. I don't think we have a Struts2 construct for it <s:img name='something.png' ... or <s:resource environment="dev"...
