use request.getSession().getServletContext() in the action class to =
receive
the context of the struts action servlet, and you can use the action =
class
to set a property of the action form as you would do it if you want to
prepopulate form data (a good example is described in
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2004/jw-0913-struts-p3.html =
using
two action classes, one for prepopulating the action form and one for =
the
actual "doing").
also you could implement a class that gets initialized during loading of =
a
webapp (e.g. implementing ServletContextListener ) and gets all data =
from
servlet context into a hashmap, and have a static method that retrieves =
the
data from this hash map.

Betreff: Need Help Passing Data Values To My subclass Action class

I am trying to pass a value that is configured in my web.xml which is my
"databaseID" that I need in my Action class.
=20
I have asked prior, but received no help, so I am trying again. If I =
have a
value in the deployment file that I can get out using a ServletContext, =
how
can I get that into a subclass of an Action class, or even to a =
ActionForm
subclass, since neither extend the HttpServlet class?
=20
I would appreciate any input,
Sincerely
Scott
