Attached is a demo.Demo class which utilizes a PropertiesManager class. The PropertiesManager class creates a properties file to keep track of properties files, then creates and uses properties files with and without defaults. I use it to demonstrate to students.
You can put anything you like into any scope (page, session, application) in an application, so you use property files just like you would with any program or application. There is no reason why you cannot create and use classes and objects in struts. This PropertiesManager is probably too unwieldy, but you can make something that fits your own needs.
