Is it possible to get Struts' FilterDispatcher to serve up static files

I'm using *.html as my default extension, which causes a whole host of issues with Dojo.  Regardless, I want to fight through it and see if I can come up with a solution.

I noticed that FilterDispatcher allows you to serve up static files from the classpath.  Is it possible to configure this same filter so it can serve up static .html files from a "static" directory in my webapp root?

Thanks,

Matt
