It is a while since I looked at this. Struts lets you have a second level 
path which maps to different config elements so you can try to run > 1 UI 
variation from one webapp (Grouper connections are the same but the UI can 
look different). My patch gives a mechanism for ensuring that the path is 
maintained though you sometimes have to add a tiles attribute to make it 
work. Originally Tom wanted to separate any of our changes from the core 
Struts - and make them optional so that people could upgrade Struts without 
having undue dependencies.

I haven't used the feature much myself and I'm not sure how many others 
have.

None of the contribs should be automatically part of the grouper-ui.jar
