I think you got the wrong end of the stick. The <action> elements in
struts-config relate to ActionMapping classes, not the Action class.
You need to sub-class the ActionMapping class and add your properties and
getters/setters to that class.
Then you need to add a <init-param> element for the ActionSrvlet to the
web.xml to tell it to use your custom ActionMapping class as follows:
<init-param>
<param-name>mapping</param-name>
<param-value>com.myPackage.myActionMapping</param-value>
</init-param>
Then in your action class you need to cast the mapping object to your custom
class and then call the getter to retrieve the property values.
